\nHe expressed delight with the agenda of reform and refocusing of the EFCC, stressing that it would move the anti-corruption mandate of the Commission forward.<\/p>\n
\u201cI welcome the direction you are taking the Commission, the rebranding and other positive initiatives are good,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
In a statement by the EFCC spokesman, Dele Oyewale, Smith also applauded the appointment of Ola Olukoyede as executive chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.<\/p>\n
Smith said he made personal efforts to study the antecedents of Olukoyede and found out that he has impressive credentials to lead the EFCC.<\/p>\n
\u201cI came to congratulate you on your appointment. I did my home work and research and I discovered that your appointment is right,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Responding, Olukoyede appreciated the visit and explained that the relationship between the FBI and Nigeria predated the establishment of the EFCC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
