Overhaul EFCC for efficiency, TMG tells new regime

EFCC

TRANSITION  Monitoring Group (TMG), yesterday, called for a radical overhaul of the anti-corruption agencies, saying Nigerians had lost confidence in them to prosecute the fight against graft.

Specifically, the Chairman of TMG, Com. Ibrahim Zikirullahi, said the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) currently had little or no significance in the society; therefore, its leadership must be changed.

Zikirullahi, who stated this while briefing newsmen on the expectations of Nigerians on the Buhari administration, in Abuja, said the EFCC, currently, is a mere political structure.

He added that the commission needs competent people to champion the cause of anti-corruption, maintaining that any system that encourages graft is heading for destruction.
