Chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Abdulrasheed Bawa, yesterday, charged officers of the agency to be hardworking and devoted to work as Nigerians are looking up to them for success in the fight against corruption.
Bawa, who made the call when he visited Ibadan zonal office of the commission, urged the officers to join him in moving the anti-graft agency to the next level.
The EFCC boss described his visit to the zone as homecoming of sorts, having previously served as the head. He thanked the agency’s members of staff for their support and prayers since he emerged as chairman.
“As the saying goes, the eagle is now in the hands of the EFCC but the mission and the vision of the commission remain the same. Therefore, I urge you to be committed to your job. Always do what is right and guard against wrong-doing.
“The Ibadan zonal office is one of the offices I love. I hope you will maintain it and be on top of your game. If the story of my life is not an inspiration to you as officers, nothing will. I want you to join me to steer the ship to another level,” Bawa said.
He expressed confidence that the future of the commission is great, saying despite its young age, EFCC is rated highly among its peers in the business of law enforcement across the globe.
Bawa assured the officers that the commission would expose them to new training opportunities to keep them abreast of changing trends in the fight against corruption.
