We have already promised to do the job to the best of our abilities – EFCC

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has promised to their job to the best of its abilities, stressing that they cannot afford to fail in the discharge of their duties.

The EFCC Chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa said this while speaking on Monday when he visited the commission’s zonal office in Sokoto state.

Bawa told the officials that all eyes are on them to deliver on their mandate, charging them to be disciplined and to carry out their duties with the utmost professionalism.

“We have already promised to do the job to the best of our abilities and therefore cannot afford to fail. The eyes of Nigerians and, indeed the whole world, are on us,” He said.

Bawa further warned them that “the commission will not tolerate any act inimical to discipline, either overtly or covertly, and will deal with such to the full extent of the laws, rules, and regulations”.

He, however, assuaged the fears of staff regarding all pending internal issues, saying, “having been chosen from among you, I have a singular advantage of being conversant with all the issues on ground, ranging from promotions, welfare, seniority, and ranking.

“I assure you that committees are already in place to take a holistic look at these issues and recommend lasting solutions that will be implemented immediately”.
