Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) will move into its N24 billion headquarters next month, Eyes Of Lagos learnt at the weekend.

President Muhammadu Buhari is to inaugurate the building.

Acting Chairman Ibrahim Magu said yesterday: “I am excited that the headquarters is ready for use.

‘’The Federal Government has spent over N24 billion to build it. I will crosscheck to give you the exact figure.

“I thank Mr. President for according this project a priority. It is part of his commitment to the anti-graft war. This is a legacy project, which many generations will be proud of.

“No leader in Africa has provided such a conducive environment for an anti-corruption agency like President Buhari has done.

“We have also received support from ministers and MDAs on release of funds and necessary infrastructure.

“This commission is grateful to the National Assembly for its interest in the project. Speaker Yakubu Dogara, Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu, chairmen and members of committees on Anti-corruption always visited the site to monitor the work.

‘’It shows that if we are determined, we can be on the same page on this war against corruption. It is not a personal thing.

Magu added: “We are hosting heads of anti-graft agencies in the Commonwealth (Africa chapter) in May and we are hopeful the headquarters will be ready for occupation because it is more than 95 per cent completed.

“We are expecting Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to inspect the facility any time from now.”

The project has passed through three administrations in EFCC.

The construction of the headquarters was initiated by a former EFCC Chairperson Mrs. Farida Waziri.

Following a memo presented by a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr. Yayale Ahmed, the Federal Executive Council (FEC), on November 24, 2010 approved N18 billion for the 10-Storey building.

Another former Chairman Ibrahim Lamorde tried to get the peogramme completed but it was unsuccessful due to poor timeline for release of funds.

Magu, however, succeeded in seeing the project through in the last two and a half years.

The biggest corruption in this country is the cost of official spendings

Hehehe! Corruption fighting building

blackpanda:

Its you turn now to defend corruption.

24 you say? For a 4th mainland bridge from Lagos to Abuja?

I can only imagine what such amount would do to our universities, so that my lecturer would stop drawing ROM on the board and our lab technologists would stop telling us.... assuming the speed of the motor is 500rpm...maybe our school management would remember there's an Electrical department and stop inviting NEPA to fix common faults on power lines.

I'm not against EFCC, I'm only "mistified" by the figure.


twas hell back in school days.

EFCC moving into a house of 24billion, I perceive some fraud in this amount.

Even EFCC is fantastically corrupt. 24 billion Gini for what? How much have they recovered since inception?!

Billion Billion 24

How possible is this

Hmmmm who go come prove EFCC na?

The likes of fayose and other corrupt leaders will go there to eat their watery beans in no time.

I pray the spirit of corruption doesn’t corrupt the building anytime soon.

Corrupt agency fighting corruption

24Billion to erect a building when millions are jobless and in abject poverty?When will our leaders start doing things right?

The way money is called out in Nigeria, one will think that we have a money making factory here, 24 billion for a building?

Is the building Fort Knox?

Hehehehe and they are yet to put infrastructures

See people that are fighting corruption.
24billion are they going to track Satan himself?

if it's not better than Pentagon, they are all thieves

What are the technical specifications of this building? Can the building repel IEDs and RPGs attacks? Can the building directly receive signal from Nigeria's satelite in space? If there is no positive answer to the above then EFCC should be seriously probed for serious financial corruption and mismanagement.

Don't you know the meaning of facility? Facility does not mean blocks and cement, it means resource & sophistications.
