The Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Mr Ola Olukoyede has reiterated that public officers who corruptly enrich themselves will not be spared.

He emphasised this at a recent opening ceremony of a three-day workshop at the EFCC Academy in Karu, Abuja.

The workshop was organised by the House Committee on Financial Crimes in partnership with EFCC to address Anti-corruption, Fiscal Responsibility, Transparency and Good Governance for state and local government officials.

The Deputy Commandant of the EFCC, DCE Chinwe Ndubueze who spoke on behalf of the chair said the training outcome will be a turning point in the culture of accountability and integrity in public service.

“The EFCC under my leadership will have no sympathy for public officers who breach the rules to enrich themselves or their cronies. 70 percent of the problem that Nigeria faces in the public sector is down to poor fiscal transparency. In every budget cycle trillions of naira are appropriated to cater for the nation’s pressing infrastructural, social and economic needs.

“Instead, we have had the terrible misfortune of rules being circumvented and funds diverted or out rightly stolen through various sharp practices in the procurement value chain, while the rest of us suffer the consequence of the indiscretion of a few corrupt public officers,” Olukoyede said.

He added that public officers occupy a vantage position that determines the fortune of this nation, attributing poverty in Nigeria to corruption despite all its human and natural resources.
