Ola Olukoyede, the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has issued a directive for all staff members of the Commission to declare their assets.
The directive was given at the EFCC’s headquarters in Abuja on Tuesday, October 24, in compliance with civil service regulations and procedures.
He stated that fighting corruption required those at the vanguard to be above board. The EFCC Chairman said;
“All of us are going to declare our assets; from level 17, downward. I did mine, so there’s no reason for anyone to be afraid to do the same.
“Even the Commission Secretary did, you all may also have done it in the past, but there’s a need for all of us to do it again. We will declare our assets, and we are going to investigate it. We must live above board by setting the pace with good examples.
“As anti-corruption fighters, our hands must be clean, so we must declare our assets.”
