The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has cautioned the National Productivity Centre (NPC) against giving awards to individuals suspected of financial crimes. EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede emphasized the need for diligence in selecting award recipients, citing past instances where criminals and financial crime suspects received awards.
The EFCC and NPC have agreed to collaborate on initiatives aimed at tackling corruption and boosting productivity in key sectors of the economy. The partnership will focus on training, administration, and Servicom.
NPC Director-General Baffa Babban Dan’agundi expressed his agency’s commitment to working with the EFCC to achieve its mandate of monitoring the productivity of Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) in the country.
The EFCC has the legal authority to track and prosecute financial crime suspects, regardless of their social standing, except for governors who have immunity while in office.
