New EFCC Chairman assumes office, reveal new anti-graft strategies

The Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Abdulrasheed Bawa, on Friday officially assumed duties and reveal new anti-graft strategies.

He said the EFCC would now engage in proactive and intelligence-led investigation.

He also said he would create a full-fledged directorate of intelligence that would spearhead intelligence gathering.

He added he would ensure that the operation of the commission is digitalised.

Bawa, who unveiled his plans after taking over from the immediate past Acting Chairman, Mr. Mohammed Umar Abba, said the EFCC would fight corruption to a standstill.

He said: “We are going to digitalise our processes, and we are going to create a new full-fledged directorate of intelligence to enable us gather intelligence so that we will be proactive in our fight against economic and financial crimes; and by so doing, we will also provide the government with necessary quality advice that will lead to good governance. There is difference between fighting corruption and fighting corrupt people; and going forward, we are going to be proactive in our approach in the fight against economic and financial crimes.”
