[ICYMI] EFCC lacks board two years after Senate stopped nominees
The Federal Government has failed to nominate fresh names for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission board almost two years after the confirmation of the nominees ended in a fiasco in the eighth Senate.
The Senate had stepped down the consideration and confirmation of four members of the EFCC in December 2018, following a row over the composition. But former Anambra Central Senator Victor Umeh had objected to the confirmation and insisted that the report should be stood down, noting that the nomination did not conform with the Federal Character principles.
Commenting on the failure of the government to address the anomaly, a lawyer, Victor Giwa, said the board was supposed to give guidance and advice to the anti-graft agency’s chairman and ensure transparency and best practices.
