The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mr Ola Olukoyede, on Tuesday, directed staff members of the commission to immediately declare their assets in line with civil service regulations and procedures. He gave the directive at the Corporate Headquarters of the Commission in Abuja while addressing senior staff of the EFCC, stressing that fighting corruption required those at the vanguard to be above board. A statement by EFCC spokesman, Dele Oyewale, quoted Olukoyede as assuring the commission's staff that adherence to the rule of law would be his defining principle of work. He said the EFCC needed to rid the nation of corruption in order to boost investors' confidence in Nigeria. He warned "those compromising their works and position to desist from such conduct, as dire consequences await every unsavoury tendency."
