Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, on Thursday revealed that the agency has recovered about N17bn through the instrumentality of the whistle blowing policy.
Magu made the disclosure during a paper presentation titled “Before Corruption Kills Nigeria,” at the 62nd Award Night of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, held at the Ladi Kwali Hall, Sheraton Hotels, Abuja.
He further reiterated the Commission’s commitment to combating corruption, stressing that the battle against corruption can only be won through the help of the media.
“The EFCC is committed to pursuing its statutory mandate and to rescue the Nigerian state and its people from being killed by corruption. We call on the Media and well meaning Nigerians to join us in this crusade. With the government and people of Nigeria behind the EFCC, we shall surely be victorious,” he added.
