Post created on 11:23 am

The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Pastor Ola olukoyede has ordered the personnel of the commission to declare their assets in accordance with civil service rules and procedures

He issued the order on Tuesday at the commission’s Abuja headquarters, speaking to senior EFCC employees and emphasising the need for individuals at the forefront of the fight against corruption to be above the board.

“The EFCC is a creation of the law. We must do our job in line with the dictates of the law. This is a standard international practice and we would ensure that it is our established norm” olukoyede said.

“All of us are going to declare our assets, from Level 17 downward. I did mine, so there’s no reason for anyone to be afraid to do the same. Even the commission’s secretary did; you all may have done it in the past, but there’s a need for all of us to do it again. We will declare our assets, and we are going to investigate them.

“We must live above board by setting the pace with good examples. As anti-corruption fighters, our hands must be clean, so we must declare our assets,”

“We must do our job to add value to the nation. Investors must have confidence in the economy and we must help the country to be governed in an accountable and transparent manner. By doing this, it will offer us a new direction to redeem the image of the nation.

“Please, I beg you, let our hands be clean and put our house in order. Some may not like me, but I am going to do the right thing and treat everybody equally irrespective of religion, ethnicity and region.”
