…Advocates For United Efforts
The Finance and Business Online Publishers (FiBOP) has thrown its weight behind the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)for its relentless efforts in tackling economic and financial crimes in Nigeria.
This is just as the body harped on the imperative of a united fight against corruption and financial crimes and malpractices.
The commendation is coming on the heels of the numerous challenges posed by corruption and institutional malfeasance, which have long plagued the nation’s economic landscape.
Speaking on behalf of FiBOP, the President, Mr. Charles Onwuatogwu said that recognising the pivotal role of the EFCC in combating these pervasive issues, FiBOP has pledged unwavering support to the agency’s mission to rid the country of financial and economic crime.
The commendation, he said, highlights the critical importance of collaborative efforts between government agencies and private sector stakeholders in addressing complex challenges that undermine the nation’s economic stability and prosperity.
According to him, “The work being done by the EFCC is commendable and essential for the economic development and growth of Nigeria.”
“As stakeholders in the financial and business community, we fully support the EFCC’s efforts to root out corruption and promote transparency and accountability in all sectors of society,” he added.
The FiBOP President pointed out that the support for the anti-graft agency comes at a crucial juncture as Nigeria continues to grapple with the far-reaching consequences of financial crime and corruption.
He added that by pledging support for the EFCC, FiBOP underscores its commitment to fostering a business environment characterised by integrity, ethical conduct, and adherence to best practices.
The EFCC, under the leadership of Ola Olukoyede he asserted has made significant strides in investigating and prosecuting cases of financial impropriety, asset misappropriation, and money laundering.
He stated that despite its rigorous enforcement efforts and collaborative initiatives with international partners, the agency has demonstrated a steadfast commitment to upholding the rule of law and safeguarding the nation’s economic interests.
Speaking further Onwuatogwu posited that as Nigeria strives to position itself as a leading destination for investment and economic growth, the collective efforts of government agencies, private sector stakeholders, and civil society organisations are paramount.
FiBOP’s endorsement of the EFCC’s anti-corruption initiatives, he said, signals a unified stance against financial crime and a shared commitment to fostering a culture of transparency, accountability, and good governance in Nigeria.
FiBOP, he said, therefore reaffirms its commitment to supporting the EFCC in its mission to combat economic and financial crime, and calls upon all stakeholders to join forces in advancing the collective goal of a corruption-free Nigeria.
