Vice President Kashim Shettima says the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has recovered more than ₦500 billion worth of assets since President Bola Ahmed Tinubu assumed office, describing the development as a major milestone in Nigeria’s anti-corruption drive.
Shettima disclosed this on Monday at a high-level judicial workshop in Abuja, attended by judges and justices from across the country. The event was jointly organised by the EFCC and the National Judicial Institute to strengthen the judiciary’s role in combating financial crimes.
According to the Vice President, the success recorded by the anti-graft agency is a result of the Tinubu administration’s policy of non-interference in the operations of key institutions.
“We’ve empowered anti-graft agencies with the independence they need. That’s why the EFCC has secured over 7,000 convictions and recovered more than ₦500 billion,” Shettima said.
