“Such a decision would send a powerful message of unity and inclusivity, fostering a harmonious and balanced Nigeria.

“It is essential to rectify the existing regional imbalance within the EFCC by appointing a candidate from the South as the next chairman, to address the perception of bias and create a more balanced representation within the institution.”
HURIWA further emphasised the need for national institutions such as the EFCC to reflect Nigeria’s diversity and promote inclusion, calling for the appointment of the EFCC head based on merit, competence, and a proven track record in the fight against corruption.
It also called for the nationalisation of the EFCC chairmanship to ensure equitable representation from all regions of the country.NYSC Portal
