Olukoyede

The executive chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ola Olukoyede, has advised civil society organisations, CSOs, across the country not to allow themselves to be used as tools to engender corruption by dubious politicians.

A statement by EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale on Wednesday, said Olukoyede gave the advice when he received the executives of the Conference of Northern States Civil Society Networks, led by its chairman, Ambassador Ibrahim Waiya, at the EFCC corporate headquarters, Abuja. Olukoyede said it was appalling to see CSOs veer off their mandate, supporting bad governance.

That is why, within six months of my appointment, I have met with the coalition of CSOs twice. For me, we cannot do it all alone. We surely need to collaborate to achieve the mandate,' he said. The EFCC chairman also commended President Bola Tinubu for taking crucial measures on the issues of consumer credit and the Student Loan Scheme, which he said have a great propensity for curbing corruption. “Fifty per cent of my job would have been done by the time these policies come on stream.
