Ibrahim Magu, acting chairman of
the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), says the agency is guided
by the fear of God in its operations.
Magu said this at an interactive
session with stakeholders in Ibadan on Monday.
He said the agency has prosecuted
all corruption cases, no matter how highly placed the suspect is, while it has
secured at least 150 convictions in seven months.
Aside the notable achievements of
EFCC, Magu said the agency brought the anti-corruption campaign closer to the
people.
‘‘For us at EFCC, we are driven
by courage, integrity, professionalism and commitment to the common task of
improving the lots of our people at the grassroots as we promote working
partnership with all stakeholders.
‘‘In all that we do, we are
guided first by the fear of God and patriotism to our fatherland and the rule
of law.
‘‘I will continue to discharge my
duties guided by fear of God, overriding interest of Nigeria and rule of law.”
He said the agency would not
embark on witch-hunt, maintaining that its operations were in line with
international best practices.
‘‘Like we all know, corruption is
the number one problem that has militated against the development of Nigeria,
especially the very poor at the grassroots,” he said.
‘‘The havoc that corrupt
practices have wrought on the Nigerian economy is, no doubt, endless.
‘‘This is why fighting it
(corruption) to a standstill is not only a must but the only lifesaver for our
country.
‘‘We must all join hands to kill
corruption. We must fight this menace. There is no better time to prop up the
anti-corruption campaign than now.”
