   President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria on Monday said that $150billion has been stolen from Nigeria in the past decade. 

   
   
   Buhari made the comment while soliciting US help in recovering stolen funds. He said, ''There are too few examples in the history of Nigeria since independence where it can be said that good management and governance were instituted at a national level. This lack of a governance framework has allowed many of those in charge, devoid of any real checks and balances, to plunder''. 
   
   ''The fact that I now seek Obama’s assistance in locating and returning $150 billion in funds stolen in the past decade and held in foreign bank accounts on behalf of former, corrupt officials is testament to how badly Nigeria has been run. This way of conducting our affairs cannot continue''.
