EFCC: Bawa as game-changer
By John Oloruntoba
WITH the appointment of Abdulrasheed Bawa, President Muhammadu Buhari may have finally found the magic wand to reinvigorate the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, and combat graft.
This was the preponderant thinking among stakeholders following the statement announcing a change of guard at the iconic Tunde Idiagbon House, thus sealing the hopes of embattled Ibrahim Magu to return to his exalted office after his dramatic suspension last year and even melodramatic trial by the Justice Ayo Salami-led panel.
EFCC came into being in 2003 as part of a national response to address the challenge posed by the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering, FATF, which had indicted Nigeria as one of 23 countries that were not cooperating in the global efforts to fight money laundering.
