Global Integrity Watch Advocates for Transparency in EFCC

Global Integrity Watch (GIW), an international civil society organization, has called for ongoing scrutiny, accountability, and respect for individual rights in Nigeria's anti-corruption initiatives. This statement was made during an Integrity March to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), where GIW recognized the commission's accomplishments under the leadership of its chairman, Ola Olukoyede.

GIW Country Representative, Comrade Eneji Mohammed, representing Executive Director Comrade Abraham Temitayo Adewoye, stated that the fight against corruption requires professionalism and transparency. The EFCC reported securing 7,503 convictions and recovering approximately ₦566.32 billion between October 2023 and September 2025, with a total of 10,872 convictions and recoveries of ₦1.234 trillion and $684.48 million reported between October 2023 and July 2026.

Mohammed emphasized that effectiveness should not solely be measured by these figures but also by the transparency of processes and protection of rights. GIW's accountability approach includes lawful Freedom of Information requests and public advocacy to address unresolved concerns.
