Abdulrasheed Bawa’s Appointment: Hope Renewed -Hon. Onofiok
By Trek Africa Newspaper
The Chairman House of Representatives Committee on Judiciary, Hon. Onofiok Luke congratulates Mr Abdulrasheed Bawa the Lagos Zonal Head of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on his nomination as Chairman of Nigeria’s anticraft agency by HE. Mohammadu Buhari, President Federal Republic of Nigeria, pending confirmation by the National Assembly.
Hon. Luke expects Bawa’s appointment to reinvigorate the agency, while his 17years prosecutorial and investigative experience align the agency to global best practices in craft management which include due diligence, professionalism, and non conformity to partisanship. He stressed that partisanship derails focus and nullifies bipartisan consensus on a disinterested Commission dedicated to tackling the monstrosity of corruption in the country.
Hon. Luke predicts the task ahead of the Czar as herculean but not altogether insurmountable should he call to bear his youthfulness, robust operational intelligence as a Pioneer Cadet of EFCC Institute, Zonal Head Port Harcourt, Lagos and Head Capacity Development Division, EFCC Academy Abuja, as well as dependence on provisions of the law.
The former speaker of Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly encourages Bawa not to fail in his new responsibility, noting that he carries generational burden as his success will further convince elders to cede more critical national responsibilities to younger folks, whereas failure will inadvertently hinder others from accessing weighty opportunities as campaign for youth participation in leadership intensifies.
The Judiciary Committee Chairman in the Green Chamber of the National Assembly, assures the Commission of continued support while appreciating Mr President for nominating for confirmation a substantive EFCC Chairman after six years without substantive leadership.
Congratulations!
