The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has called upon the Presidency, the Federal Judicial Commission, and various Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) to submit their anti-corruption strategies to curb contract abuses.
In letters addressed to key government officials, including the Chief of Staff to the President and the Chairman of the National Assembly Commission, the EFCC set a deadline of March 1 for the submission of these strategies.
This directive aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to combat corruption within MDAs, as evidenced by the launch of the Fraud Risk Assessment Prevention and Control Project in January.
The EFCC emphasized the need to assess existing anti-corruption measures, identify vulnerabilities, and develop strategies to mitigate corruption and financial crimes within MDAs.
A source within the agency highlighted that this initiative aims to proactively prevent corruption, signaling a departure from past practices.
