The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Mr Ola Olukoyede, has directed staff members of the commission to declare their assets.
Olukoyede gave the directive on Tuesday at the commission’s headquarters in Abuja. He advised the senior staff members of the commission to follow his footsteps, noting that they should not be afraid. In his words: “The EFCC is a creation of the law. We must do our job in line with the dictates of the law. This is a standard international practice and we would ensure that it is our established norm.
“All of us are going to declare our assets; from Level 17, downward. I did mine, so there’s no reason for anyone to be afraid to do the same. Even the commission’s secretary did, you all may also have done it in the past, but there’s a need for all of us to do it again. We will declare our assets, and we are going to investigate them.
“We must live above board by setting the pace with good examples. As anti-corruption fighters, our hands must be clean, so we must declare our assets,” the spokesperson for the EFCC, Dele Oyewale quoted Olukoyede as saying in a statement made available to journalists on Tuesday”.
