Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa has made some revelations.

He said: “The assessment of the President Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-corruption drive is of course on top and it has been excellent.”

“Yesterday I was with him, and we presented to him the graph presentation of the rise in the conviction we succeeded in securing under his leadership.”

“In 2016, the EFCC only recorded 103 convictions and in 2022 we recorded 3,785, all credits go to him. This signified a sharp increase from the previous year’s conviction records of the commission.”

“Because he was able to provide us not only the political will required to fight corruption but also the political action.”

“Since my appointment as the Chairman of the EFCC, Mr President has granted us all the necessary support and legislation, including the need to boost the manpower of the commission.”

“To reinforce his commitment, the president assented into law three legislations; being the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Bill, 2022; the Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Bill, 2022; and the Proceeds of Crime (Recovery and Management) Bill, 2022.”

“These legal instruments against the illicit financial flow and money laundry have aided the conviction achievement of the EFCC.”
