AbdulRazaq, AGF, EFCC Chief Drum Support For Anti-graft War

Kwara State governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq yesterday drummed support for the anti-corruption campaign of President Bola Tinubu, commending the administration for prosecuting the war in a way that is “more result-oriented and more sustainable. 

The governor spoke in Ilorin, the state capital, at the commissioning of the newly built zonal office complex of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), which the state government had facilitated in support of the federal agency. 

He said: “I believe that the ambience of the new office complex offers a more conducive environment for the sensitive national assignment that you do.

“I commend (the EFCC) for everything that you do for our country. I align myself with the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr. President to prosecute the anti-corruption campaign in a way that is more result-oriented and more sustainable. 

“Erecting strong mechanisms to prevent the commission of crime, having the right legal framework and networks to checkmate corrupt practices, and striking the right balance between the public’s right to know of anti-corruption efforts of the government and actually recovering looted funds through strategic partnerships have been a bold feature of the president’s agenda to fight graft in a sustainable way.

“I thank the attorney general of the federation and minister of justice, Lateef Fagbemi for his strategic deployment of the law to achieve the agenda of Mr. President. This lends credence to the experience and commitment of the Hon. AGF and his team, including the EFCC. 

“I thank the EFCC for its humane efforts to tackle all shades of financial crimes as a matter of national emergency and for the good of all. 

“The fight against corruption is a national campaign that we must all support, especially at institutional levels. Last week, our administration organised a 3-day intensive training on Compliance with Anti-Corruption Policies and Financial Regulatory Frameworks to keep commissioners, permanent secretaries, and other top government officials abreast of key issues in public financial management, sustainability reporting, and tax frauds, among others.”
