President Bola Tinubu’s administration has been praised for its approach to tackling corruption in Nigeria. Kenny Okolugbo, media aide to Senate President Godswill Akpabio, commended the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) under Ola Olukoyede for demonstrating an unprecedented level of focus and effectiveness in combating financial crimes. In an interview with TVC News, Okolugbo highlighted the EFCC’s efforts against round‑tripping and cryptocurrency‑related manipulation of the naira, noting that these actions have helped stabilize the currency and improve the economy.
Okolugbo argued that the current administration has made notable progress in anti‑corruption efforts, contrary to claims by the opposition. He cited the EFCC’s recovery of 753 houses and the generation of internally generated revenue (IGR) for initiatives such as the students’ loan fund and the cash‑back scheme. The Commission has also deported foreigners involved in cybercrime and tracked funds across ministries and agencies, sending a strong message that Nigeria is no longer a haven for corruption.
Emphasizing the importance of plugging financial leakages for economic growth, Okolugbo credited the Tinubu administration with taking bold steps in that direction. He also lauded the government’s ongoing tax reforms as a sustainable path to national development, stating that once fully implemented and embraced by the people, these reforms will become a major source of IGR.
The EFCC’s actions and the government’s tax reforms represent significant steps toward addressing corruption and promoting economic growth in Nigeria. The progress made by the EFCC under the Tinubu administration is a notable development in the country’s anti‑corruption efforts, contributing to overall economic improvement. As the government continues to implement tax reforms and anti‑corruption measures, further economic growth and development are expected, drawing the attention of the international community to Nigeria’s strides in combating corruption and fostering stability.
