Breaking: Senate confirms Bawa as EFCC substantive Chairman
The Nigerian Senate on Wednesday confirmed Mr Abdulrasheed Bawa as the substantive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Mr Bawa was asked to take a bow and go after he mesmerized the Senate with his credentials and provided answers to pertinent questions required for his confirmation.
Bawa introduced himself and read his biodata to the Senate, bragging to have been trained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the National Crime Agency of the United States and the United Kingdom respectively.
He further stated that he is going to prove his onus by delivering in order to give young people a very good representation so that more young people can be given more responsibilities.
He harped on the need to repatriate all stolen assets back to the country for the benefit and betterment of all Nigerians.
“I hold a B.Sc and M.Sc from Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto State. I am a Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist.
“I have also been trained by the @FBI and the National Crime Agency of the United States and United Kingdom respectively.
“I joined the @officialEFCC in 2014, and was trained in the Act Of Law Enforcement And Financial Crimes Investigation. I happen to be the only EFCC officer that has headed three different zones.
“By the end of my tenure, I will leave the @officialEFCC a better place.
The @officialEFCC is apparently the only cosmopolitan Agency in Nigeria, looking at the composition of the board of the commission.
“To our strategic partners around the world, I intend to work with them closely by sharing information in order to attain our mutual and independent objective.
“We need to repatriate all our stolen assets for the benefit and betterment of all Nigerians.
“I am going to give the young people a very good representation in the governance of this country so that more young people will be given more responsibility in this country.
“It is a dream of every patriotic Nigerian to see Nigeria growing to a greater height and I hope and pray that if confirmed, I will live to contribute my quota in seeing that this country is taken to a greater height,” Bawa told the Senate.
