According to the proposed law, the director-general will be appointed by the President based on the recommendation of the AGF and subject to confirmation by the Senate.
The director-general, and not the chairman, will be in charge of the running of the daily affairs of the commission.

A person shall not be appointed as a director-general unless he is of proven integrity and has 15 years cognate experience in security, forensic or financial crimes investigation; forensic accounting or auditing; or law practice or enforcement relating to economic and financial crimes or anti-corruption.


The director-general, according to the proposed law, shall hold office for a period of four years subject to reappointment by the President for a further term of four years and no more.


Anything for the progress and development of our darling nation is all we are after.

The kind of AGF we have had in the recent are dirty dealers. They'll rather cripple the anti corruption war than enhance it. Abu Malam finally had his way. What a country.

Everything that this administration met, it has either watered down or completely destroyed.
With this bill, the AGF is now the EFCC head in disguise.
EFCC will no longer fight financial crime independently. Instead of the president strengthening EFCC he is rather weakening the agency. You commit a financial crime, when you get picked up, you just call the AGF. You have issues with the AGF, he will send EFCC after you.

For those quoting me, claiming that with the board creation in this bill, EFCC will function better.
I want to say this,
The power it seeks for the attorney general will weaken the agency. They should have just seek for the board creation which would have strengthened the agency without the clause involving more oversight power for the AGF. On carefully looking at the bill, it is the AGF that wants more power, he smartly added the board creation to cover up the real intent. What will the board achieve when the AGF can easily override every organ of the agency.
Be smart, look beyond the cover.
This is the devil's gift.

Did you see in the report that it was buhari who initiated this move or the scales on your eyes prevented you from seeing that it is the same corrupt malami who is doing all within his power to frustrate corruption fight in Nigeria given that he is more corrupt than the devil?

You all won't read to understand but you're quick to fling accusations where it shouldn't go, and then in the process everyone loses sight of the real issue and problem.

This Bill is uncalled for and should be dropped. It will not bring any progress in fighting corruption. In a very corrupt society like ours, i see a situation where the AGF will want to use his Authority to protect fellow politicians and close friends being investigated by the Agency. People who happens not to be in the good book of the AGF will be treated unfairly. With this proposed Bill the AGF will play like God and the Agency and people being investigated will simply be at his mercy.
In my opinion, the Agency should be totally independent. The President and his team while deciding for the right Person to head the Agency, should suggest two or more Persons for the public to decide. The Person who should be in Charge of such an important Agency should be a person with proven integrity. A person with an impeccable character and transparent patriotism. The suggested persons by the President and his team will have to explain in a public debate why such an important Agency have to be entrusted under his or her leadership. The Public and not the Senate should at the end decide. The chosen person should from time time brief not only the President but also the public about the investigations of the agency. May God help us.

One should ask the AGF who recomended all this that he is doing, because certainly not the elected president, Pa Buhari, yes, he may be a tough man but he will not with to see Nigeria colapse while he watches, because this things we are reading are not by him. Like somebody said, Nigeria is finished. No elected president will stand and see none elected staff take over his duties and that of his deputy. The AGF is now the president of Nigeria. The SGF was the one giving informations of the happenings sometimes back, where Nigeria elected VP was missing. Could it be that the AGF have also taken over now that surprising/suddenly the VP surfaced. Will learned bodies of this Country Nigeria watch to see her buried by few wrongly power seekers from the North?

Who say APC no wise? Who say Buhari no wise? They want to do anything possible to avert investigation and possible prosecution when they leave office. These guys are really genius in destroying Nigeria. They've brought every crawling system they met to a complete standstill and cementing it so that such system can never move again. Kudos to them for the destruction of Nigeria! APC!!! ... everybody halla... CHAIN!!!

No need to bother yourselves. The AGF forgets that he will not be AGF 4eva. This is what you get when people fail to think about life after office.

It will come back to bite him or his children or friends in the ass when they actually need a free and fair EFCC. His power ends immediately after office. Ask previous AGFs.

They just never learn.

The bill is okay, except the aspect where it seeks to give the Attorney General the power to cancel an ongoing legal case being prosecuted by the EFCC.
First, the AGF has to recommend the appointment, upon being appointed the same AGF has the power to terminate the prosecution of any case being handled by the appiontee.

So you don't see anything wrong in AGF recommending someone for that position? Is EFCC not supposed to be independent? why should the AGF recommend? not even the president. Why should a career politician recommend who fights corruption?
