Minister of Power, Works and
Housing, Babatunde Fashola (SAN), on Monday said President Muhammadu Buhari
would not relent on his fight against corruption.
Fashola stated this during an
inspection tour of the new Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) head
office building.
“President Buhari is determined
to strengthen the anti-graft agency in the fight against corruption,” he said.
“The number of convictions
secured by the EFCC speaks for itself as to the achievements of the agency.”
On the importance of ensuring
adequate electricity supply for the facilities, Fashola explained that “because
of the sophistication in terms of the equipment, there will be need for
alternative source of power”.
“More importantly, the visit is
also to see how we can plan to power the infrastructure and connect them to the
grid.
“The structural work and level of
finish currently in place is satisfactory, and considering the important role
the EFCC plays in the fighting economic and financial crimes, as well as being
an institution ensuring law and order, the agency deserves the best”.
Fashola and his entourage were
led round the facilities by Ibrahim Murtala, an architect and consultant with
Julius Berger, the company handling the project.
Murtala assured that the building
will be ready before the second quarter of the year.
