The management team of the Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) met with Ola Olukoyede, the chairman of the EFCC at the commission's headquarters in Abuja.
He said that he used to wonder how Nigerians are still alive when he saw some corruption case files and saw the enormous amount of money looted. Daily Trust reported that Olukoyede said that some of the corruption case files would make one cry.
In Ola Olukoyede's words, "When I look at some case files and see the humongous amount of money stolen, I wonder how we are still surviving. If you see some case files, you will weep."
"The way they move unspent budget allocation to private accounts in commercial banks before midnight at the end of a budget circle, you will wonder what kind of spirit drives us as Nigerians."
"A situation where somebody would hold a public office or position of trust for years and you call him to account and he says no, he would not account, is not acceptable."
"The preventive framework for tackling corruption offers more prospects for results and impact. To this end, the EFCC now has a Department of Fraud Risk and Assessment and Control."
However, Mohammed Shehu, the Chairman of RMAFC, stated that it was critical to highlight the cooperation between RMAFC and the EFCC.
He said that it is essential to addressing the issue of unremitted earnings to the Federation Account. In addition, he urged Ola Olukoyede to work with the RMAFC more closely on information exchange and intelligence collection about all government income.
