Under the leadership of Mr. Ola Olukoyede, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has made remarkable strides in Nigeria’s fight against corruption.

In the past year, Mr. Olukoyede has spearheaded bold initiatives that have strengthened the Commission’s capacity to tackle financial crimes.

His unwavering dedication has not only earned national accolades but also positioned Nigeria as a leading voice in the global anti-corruption movement.

By fostering partnerships with local and international security agencies, Mr. Olukoyede has fortified the EFCC’s role as a bastion of accountability and justice.


One of the most significant achievements of the EFCC under Olukoyede’s leadership is its relentless crackdown on cybercrime and financial fraud.

With arrests of internet fraudsters, often referred to as “Yahoo Boys,” in major cities, the Commission’s efforts have restored faith in Nigeria’s financial system.

Of greater significance is the Commission’s investigation and prosecution of high-profile corruption cases in the last six months. The international recognition of these successes coupled with his commitment to working with the civil society, have drawn support for the EFCC’s ongoing efforts to recover stolen assets and protect the nation’s economy.

The Commission’s work in combating illegal mining and addressing currency mutilation further highlights Olukoyede’s commitment to ensuring Nigeria’s financial stability.


As a leader on the global stage, Mr. Olukoyede’s election as President of the Network of Anticorruption Institutions in West Africa (NACIWA) has solidified Nigeria’s role in shaping the regional fight against corruption. His efforts to enhance preventive measures, such as anti-money laundering regulations, have earned commendations, as well as the firm support of the civil society, especially in the collective quest for a corruption-free Nigeria.
