The presidency has reacted to criticisms over the appointment of Mr Ola Olukoyede as the new chairman of EFCC.
The presidency has reacted to criticisms over the appointment of Mr Ola Olukoyede as the new chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission .
The requirement in the argument is Section 2 of the EFCC Act, 2005, which stipulates that a chairman of the commission “must be a serving or retired member of any government security or law enforcement agency not below the rank of Assistant Commissioner of Police or equivalent; possess not less than 15 years experience.”
Nwabufo made this known via a post on X, stating that Tinubu approved the appointment in line with Section 2 of the EFCC Act, 2004.1. Mr Olukoyede was the Chief of Staff to the Executive Chairman of the EFCC and Secretary to the Commission. He was a member of a law enforcement organisation as Secretary, in this case the EFCC, as stipulated in the EFCC Act, and as such satisfied every legal detail to be appointed as Chairman.
4. The provision of Section 2 sub-paragraph of the EFCC Act did not state the nature of the experience which a person is required to possess its similar or alike for fifteen years. This implies that such cognate experience is presumed to be that of the work or functions of the EFCC acquired anywhere since the EFCC Act did not state the specific place where it must be acquired.
