Diezani Allison-Madueke to the Lagos State government for use as an
isolation centre for COVID-19 patients.
The property consisting six flats of three bedrooms and a boys’ quarter
was forfeited by Mrs Allison-Madueke following an order of Lagos State
Federal High in 2017.
Speaking during the handover ceremony, the Lagos Zonal Head of the EFCC,
Mohammed Rabo stated that the gesture was part of the Commission’s
social responsibility efforts towards the fight against the spread of
Corona virus.
“In addition to our mandate to fight economic and financial crimes, the
Commission is committed and ready to render essential services that may
be required of it in the fight against covid-19. Therefore, Lagos State
should not hesitate to call on the Commission anytime the need for such
essential service arises,” he said.
In his remarks, the state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, thanked the
Commission for the gesture, noting that it was a welcome collaboration
between the Federal and Lagos State Government.
While assuring the Commission that the property would be put to good
use, the governor thanked the EFCC for paying attention to the efforts
of the state government at containing COVID 19, adding that “part of the
challenges we have been facing is getting isolation centres for COVID-19
patients. We will go round the facility to see what we can do to improve
on it.”
