EFCC now a national institution - FG
03.10.2008

The Federal Government on Thursday said the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had grown to “a robust and reputable national institution that now commands the respect and admiration of Nigerians and the international community.”


Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Chief Michael Aondoakaa, said this while declaring open the first management retreat of the EFCC, holding in Lagos.


According to a release by the Head, Media and Strategy of the EFCC, Mr. Femi Babafemi, the minister reviewed the performance of the EFCC since its inception over five years ago and delivered a verdict of excellence on its impact.


“By your hard work, commitment and personal sacrifices to this nation, the commission has grown from a relatively small institution at birth some five years ago, to a robust and reputable national institution,” he quoted Aondoakaa as saying.


Babafemi added in the statement that the minister expressed delight with the improved image of the country abroad and linked it with the “visible and evident” successes being recorded by the EFCC in its anti-corruption war.


“Nigeria’s image has improved greatly. While Nigerians as a whole deserve commendation for this remarkable feat, it is necessary to place on record the contributions of the EFCC towards reversing this trend,” Aondoakaa reportedly said.
