Abdulrasheed Bawa, the Chairman, Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission (EFCC) has revealed the tactics Ministries, Departments and
Agencies (MDAs) use to steal money.
Bawa spoke when the Chairman, Fiscal Responsibility
Commission (FRC) Victor Muruako and his team visited the EFCC headquarters in
Jabi, Abuja.
He said the commission will work with the FRC to block
budget leakages and recover operating surpluses withheld by government
parastatals.
Bawa decried the antics of some agencies that consistently undercut government in terms of revenue remittance.
The anti-corruption chief advised the FRC to focus on the
activities of consultants used by MDAs “to siphon government funds”.
“There are a lot of leakages. Pay a special attention to
consultants; all these Build, Operate and Transfer, BOT; all these Public
Private Partnerships (PPP).
“There is a lot of corruption embodiments behind the scene
deals”, he said.
Bawa assured Muruako that the EFCC will help the FRC achieve
its objective of securing Nigeria from all forms of economic and financial
crimes.
The chairman also promised training support to boost the
professionalism of FRC staff.
Bawa added that EFCC knows the importance of the fiscal
commission and the amount of information at its disposal.
