Ola Olukoyede, Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has ordered staff of the commission to immediately declare their assets in line with civil service regulations and procedures.
Spokesperson for the commission, Dele Oyewale, disclosed this in a statement sighted by The Herald, saying Olukoyede issued the directive during a meeting with the staff at the commission’s headquarters in Abuja.
“All of us are going to declare our assets; from Level 17, downward. I did mine, so there’s no reason for anyone to be afraid to do the same. Even the commission’s secretary did, you all may also have done it in the past, but there’s a need for all of us to do it again. We will declare our assets, and we are going to investigate them,” said the EFCC chairman.
“We must live above board by setting the pace with good examples. As anti-corruption fighters, our hands must be clean and so we must declare our assets.”
