Tinubu Launches EFCC Office to Combat Corruption in Anambra

President Bola Tinubu, represented by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, inaugurated the Awka Zonal Directorate Office Complex of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Anambra State. He stated that addressing corruption by government officials is crucial for ensuring that public wealth serves all Nigerians rather than a select few.

Tinubu described the inauguration as a significant step in the fight against corruption, which he identified as a major barrier to economic progress. He noted that his administration has focused on strengthening anti-corruption frameworks and enhancing the capacity of anti-corruption agencies over the past three years.

The establishment of the Awka Zonal Directorate is intended to bring the EFCC closer to key economic areas in Anambra and Imo states, promoting ethical oversight and transparency in business operations. Tinubu commended EFCC leadership under Mr. Ola Olukoyede for aligning with his administration's Renewed Hope Agenda.
