Explore New Initiatives to Tackle Corruption, Bawa Charges Staff
The Executive Chairman of the EFCC, Abdulrasheed Bawa, has charged management staff of the Commission to see themselves as critical stakeholders in the anti-corruption crusade, while exploring new initiatives to further galvanise the fight against economic and financial crimes in Nigeria.
He gave the charge at a three-day Management Retreat of the Commission, which began on Monday, February 13, 2023 at the Radisson Blu Anchorage Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos, with the theme: “Consolidating on Achievements for Enhanced Performance and Greater Impact”.
He said:” We are the leaders of this organisation and we cannot expect angels to come down and help us.”
Bawa stated that the Retreat was convened to create a family atmosphere, where “we are expected to tell ourselves the truth – the whole truth.
In his remarks, the Secretary to the Commission, Dr. George Ekpungu, said there was need, at every point in time, for an organisation to evaluate its activities, with the hindsight of restrategising to advance its mission and vision.
According to him, “We have gathered here for the Retreat, in order to take stock of our activities in the past year across all our departments and operations, evaluate them, and come up with projections for the current year, while restrategising to achieve the set goals.”
