The Minister of State for Labour and Employment Festus Keyamo, SAN, has spoken on the nomination of Abdulrasheed Bawa as the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Bawa’s name was sent to the Senate by President Muhammadu Buhari for confirmation on Tuesday.
“I rarely do this, but having prosecuted for the EFCC for more than a decade before my appointment as Minister, I can attest to the intellectual depth and conscientiousness of this nominee, Abdulrasheed Bawa with whom I did a few matters. Congrats, ahead of the Senate screening,” Keyamo said.
Dateline Nigeria reports that Bawa is set to become the first non-police head of the anti-corruption agency, coming after Nuhu RIbadu, Farida Waziri, Ibrahim Lamurde and Ibrahim Magu.
