The President, in a statement issued on Tuesday by his Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said Mr Olukoyede has demonstrated professionalism and courage in the discharge of his duties, reinforcing the EFCC’s mission to rid the nation of economic and financial crimes.
President Tinubu also acknowledged the EFCC Chairman’s commitment to the fight against corruption, transparency in governance, and institutional reforms within Nigeria’s anti-graft framework.
He specifically commended Olukoyede for setting up the special task force on currency offences, which is dedicated to fighting naira abuse and the dollarisation of the economy. The President also commended him for the strategic framework introduced in the fight against cybercrimes and sabotage against the nation’s economy.
