The new Secretary to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Dr. George Ekpungu, on Wednesday 27th October, 2021 formally assumed office.
Welcoming him to the headquarters of the Commission at Jabi, Abuja, the Executive Chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa, expressed delight that Ekpungu is coming on board at a time of fundamental reforms at the EFCC, noting that the Commission, over the last few months, had reviewed and adopted a number of policy documents geared towards improving its efficiency and effectiveness.
Ekpungu, who hails from Boki LGA of Cross River State, was appointed by President Buhari in June 2021. He subsequently appeared before the Nigerian Senate weeks back, where he was screened and okayed for the job.
