BAWA CONFIRMED AS EFCC BOSS
Abdulrasheed Bawa has been confirmed by the Nigerian Senate as the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Commission (EFCC)
The confirmation came after a two-hour screening exercise which was done in plenary and presided over by the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan. Bawa was quizzed by about 15 lawmakers who questioned his experience, background, and integrity amongst other issues.
Key amongst the scrutinization was an allegation that he Bawa had sold recovered properties while heading the agency’s Port-Harcourt office. Bawa denied the allegation and maintained that he enjoys a good relationship with his predecessors.
40-Year-old Abdulrasheed Bawa is the youngest and first-ever non-police-related individual to be appointed as the chairman of EFCC.
