ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) - President Umaru Yar'Adua revealed personal wealth of $5 million on Thursday, saying public financial disclosures should be standard practice as Nigeria battles official corruption.
Yar'Adua, who took power May 29 with a promise to fight graft, said he owned several buildings across northern Nigeria, where his family is prominent in business and politics.
Yar'Adua, who was required only to declare his finances to authorities, made the declaration public as an inducement to other politicians, said presidential spokesman Olusegun Adeniyi.
