Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu has appointed Ola Olukoyede as the new Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for a renewable term of four years.
Olukoyede, a lawyer with over 22 years of experience, is a regulatory compliance consultant and specialist in fraud management and corporate intelligence. He has previously served as Chief of Staff to the Executive Chairman and Secretary to the Commission. Olukoyede’s appointment follows the resignation of Abdulrasheed Bawa, the suspended Executive Chairman.
Meanwhile, Hassan Hammajoda, a public administrator with extensive experience in public finance management, has been appointed as the Secretary of the EFCC.
Tinubu aims to justify the confidence given to the new leadership in the anti-corruption sector.
