The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has tasked journalists on budget tracking, performance and whistle blowing on project failures and abandonment.

Chairman of the commission, Abdulrasheed Bawa, who gave the charge at the opening of a one-day workshop on “Economic and Financial Crimes Reporting for Journalists” in Sokoto, said the task of exposing corrupt public officials calls for commitment and attention to details.

Represented by the zonal commander of the EFCC, Aliyu Yunusa, the EFCC boss said, “The media should begin to ask questions on budget performance through deliberate monitoring and reporting, whistle blowing on project failures, abandonment of contracts, project delay and poor project delivery.

“The task of exposing corrupt public officials is not as demanding as we thought. What it really calls for is commitment and attention to details. One way of doing this is through budget tracking. Yearly budgets of government at all levels are always announced.

“Institutions have their budgets, as well as elected politicians for their respective constituencies. The media should begin to ask questions on budget performance through deliberate monitoring and reporting.
