Ikwerre Youth Movement, IYM, has come out to urge the new Chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Abdulrasheed Bawa, to shun politics in its investigation of financial crimes.

The Chairman of IYM, Hon. Lucky Worluh, who is also a former education secretary in Rivers State, recently revealed this via a statement.

According to him, youths should also learn to engage with the current administration well if they want our dear nation to change for the better.

Lucky added that he hopes the recent appointment of Abdulrasheed Bawa as chairman of EFCC will end the dependency problem the commission has.

His words, “After the End SARS protest, a lot of us came to understand that the problem with Nigeria is economic empowerment. The appointment of Abdulrasheed Bawa as chairman of EFCC will solve the problem of EFCC, which is dependency.”

“EFCC deserves this appointment because it will make it independent. This is one appointment that is commendable. When you bring somebody from the police to head EFCC, his loyalty is to the IG of police.”

“Bawa is committed to fighting crime and corruption. Bawa is a man needed for this job based on his credentials and tracks records.”

“Bawa should try and establish EFCC as an independent institution. He should use this opportunity to make the study of crime and corruption included as part of Civic Education in the school curriculum.”

“EFCC should avoid politics while carrying out an investigation. EFCC should establish its own court like there is the Code of Conduct Bureau. Why did Nigeria spend time to establish it and not establish a court for EFCC?”

“They should establish a special corruption court for the EFCC. Bawa should encourage thorough invention before the arrest and prosecution of suspects.”
