The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission said it recovered over N365.4bn and secured 4,111 convictions in 2024.
The commission’s Executive Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, disclosed this in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, at the end of a three-day Retreat for Directors with the theme “EFCC: The Journey So Far, Ensuring Professionalism and Integrity.”
Olukoyede, in a statement by the commission’s spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, on Saturday, attributed the feat achieved to the commitment, sacrifices and dedication of staff, promising to surpass the record in 2025.
“In 2024, the commission secured 4,111 convictions and hauled monetary recovery of over N365.4billion. The EFCC’s boss appreciated the sacrifice, hard work, and discipline, and called for increased dedication to surpass the records of 2024 and greater commitment to the integrity of processes in the agency,” the statement read.
The chairman emphasised the need to uphold professionalism and integrity in the fight against corruption, adding that the EFCC’s workforce would turn out to be a critical mass of honest, highly motivated and effective team.
He further assured all that in another six months, he would deliver a brand new EFCC in Nigeria.
Speaking on the “Role of Personnel in Information Management and Public Perception of the EFCC”, Professor Tonnie Iredia, one of the resource persons, emphasised that wrong perception of the works of the EFCC was coming out of deliberate distortion and outright cynicism about the strides and courageous works of the Commission.
He applauded the “passion, integrity, and transparent leadership Olukoyede is offering the Commission” and called for more involvement of Nigerians in the anti-graft fight.
In his remarks, Mr Femi Falana, SAN, who examined the evolution of EFCC affirmed that “the commission has come to stay.”
He commended Olukoyede and the entire staff of the commission for being undaunted, resolute and progressive in moving the anti-graft war forward, promising that challenges being posed by the judiciary would be looked into to ensure that the commission fully delivers on its mandate of tackling corrupt practices across the country.
