Corruption Fight Yielding Dividends – Magu

The Acting Chairman, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu has said that the fight against corruption is yielding dividends across all sectors in Nigeria.

Magu gave this positive disposition during the courtesy visit of members of the Association of National Accountants of Nigeria, ANAN at the EFCC Head Office, Abuja on February 4, 2019.

Commending the contribution of ANAN, Magu said, “The involvement of the association in the fight against corruption and related vices, by promoting the whistle-blowing campaign amongst its members and the general public via platforms such as print media, social media and programmes is laudable and shows great teamwork in the anti-graft war”.

“The robust disciplinary mechanism which ANAN has put in place, such as a code of ethics for professional accountant will aid to curb internal corruption; this is a solid mechanism that will enable professionals to do the right thing,” he said.

He added that: “In Nigeria, we have a government that promotes accountability and good governance.”

In his remarks, the ANAN president, Shehu Laden appreciated the good work of the EFCC describing the fight against corruption as a “herculean task”.

On the delegation were members of the ANAN Governing Council – Prof Muhammad Mainoma, first vice president; Prof Benjamin Osisioma, second vice president; Zuwaira Kishimi, Anthony Nzom, immediate past president; James E. Neminebor, Treasurer.
