The Minister of State for Niger-Delta, Festus Keyamo, SAN on Thursday,<\/div>\n
\n
September 12, 2019\u00a0 commended the Economic and Financial Crimes
\nCommission, EFCC, for recording the highest number of convictions among
\nlaw enforcement agencies in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Keyamo gave the commendation at the EFCC Academy, Abuja, while
\naddressing 164 Officers of the EFCC Cadet Course 8 currently undergoing
\norientation and induction at the Academy.<\/p>\n

Keyamo charged the Cadets to take the fight against corruption
\nseriously, bearing in mind the admonition of President Muhammadu Buhari
\nthat, “if we don’t kill corruption, corruption will kill Nigeria”.<\/p>\n

“Anybody who said corruption is not the bane of Nigeria today is not
\nhonest.<\/p>\n

“A research conducted sometime ago revealed that the amount of money
\nlooted as a result of corruption in Nigeria stands at $400billion,” he
\nsaid.<\/p>\n

Keyamo enjoined the Cadets to celebrate their recruitment into the
\nCommission at a time when the EFCC truly enjoys complete independence to
\nexecute its mandate.<\/p>\n

He blamed interference by previous governments for the slow pace of the
\nfight against corruption in the past as several investigations and
\nprosecution of offenders were frustrated.<\/p>\n

In another presentation, Femi Gbarufu, Head, Human Resources enlightened
\nthe Cadets on the structure and functions of the Human Resources Unit.
\nHe charged them to observe the stipulated work ethics, codes of conduct
\nand the core values of the Commission.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
