Questions have arisen regarding the qualifications of Ola Olukoyede to hold the position of Chairman at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). According to the stipulated requirements in the establishment of the EFCC, the Chairman must be a serving or retired member of any government security or law enforcement agency not below the rank of Assistant Commissioner of Police or equivalent, and possess not less than 15 years cognate experience.
Investigations have revealed that Olukoyede, born on October 14, 1969, did not meet these prerequisites before his appointment. Despite this, he assumed the role of Executive Chairman of the EFCC, appointed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on October 12, 2023.

Before his tenure as EFCC Chairman, Olukoyede worked as a lawyer at a firm owned by former Vice President of Nigeria, Yemi Osinbajo. He also served as the Chief of Staff to the Executive Chairman (2016–2018) and Secretary to the Commission (2018–2023). His nomination as Secretary to the EFCC in 2018 was made by the then-President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari.

During the announcement of Olukoyede's appointment, it was stated that he possessed 22 years of regulatory compliance consulting, fraud management, and business intelligence experience. However, questions persist regarding whether this experience aligns with the specific requirements outlined for the EFCC Chairman.

The requirements as contained in part 1 section 2 of the establishment reads, ""The Commission shall consist of the following members

(a) a chairman, who shall -
(i) be the Chief Executive and Accounting Officer of the Commission.
(ii) be a serving or retired member of any government security or law enforcement agency not below the rank of Assistant Commissioner of Police or equivalent; and
(iii) Possess not less than 15 years cognate experience."

Given these revelations, concerns have been raised about Olukoyede's suitability for the role, with some arguing that he lacks the necessary experience and competency required for such a critical position in combating economic and financial crimes.

Oloribu
They have pay money

I don’t know this guy (EFCC chairman), and I haven’t heard of his name until recently. What I know is that Nigerians will go against you when you start to work against their interests (corrupt leaders).

@anonpoet

84 billion naira looted can not be overlooked for any reason. People in power must be help accountable by any means necessary.

who told you that Rivers has nothing to show for wikes 8 years? Who's your governor, let's do a project for project comparison with wike. Why do you guys talk loosely on social media and talk about things you know nothing about

Leave the retards alone , he has been shouting that Tinubu appointments are the worse , but I have not seen any government whose ministers are making waves in less than a year like this. Tinubu is a drug lord, but his political acumen is folds higher than every other presidential candidates you can think of . They are pained whenever they see the administration getting it right. They were praising Wike then and tagged an infrastructural governor,his crime is that he working for Tinubu and nothing else.

This moniker is a bello sponsored moniker.
Tell you oga to go and answer for his crimes.

This article to be honest is so disgusting. Why is it now that the EFCC chair is proving a "big man" that these questions are being asked. Corruption trying to fight back.

Just to keep you honest, I am going to make it clear that these questions were first raised months ago - along with similar ones concerning Ribadu's appointment as the NSA.

Copied in below was Bwala's reaction at the time and Falana's response.

According to Bwala, the Act provides that the person to be appointed as EFCC Chairman must, amongst other things, have been “a serving or retired member of any security or law enforcement agency, have 15 years cognate experience of law enforcement, and must not be below the rank of assistant commissioner of police”.

Bwala noted that “Olukayode is a private legal practitioner and has never worked or belonged to any security or law enforcement agency as a member.”

But a legal expert and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, has dismissed the negative claims being held about Olukoyede’s qualifications.

Falana explained that there was no issue with the appointment, noting that Olukoyede was eminently qualified to head the EFCC.

According to the legal expert, his only worry was on whether the appointment followed the nation’s law on the principle of federal character.

Falana spoke over the week while featuring on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme.

He said, “No, there’s no issue there. The only issue that has been raised, which, for me, has to be considered by the government, is that we have in this country the federal character commission act. And also, by virtue of section 14 of the constitution, appointments must reflect federal character.

“So, if you are going to have the EFCC and ICPC, the heads can not come from the same zone. If there are two positions in this country in public service, one must go to the North, and one must come to the South.

It is now the suitability and qualifications of Olukoyede that are now to be questioned because he is going after someone?

Some hungry lawyers, civil society groups and hatchet men have been protesting and defending the former governor of Kogi State since Olukoyede's outburst. I strongly advise Olukoyede to investigate the bank accounts of the arrowheads and put a lien on them. A lot of nonsense has gone on for far too long and must be arrested.

Instead of looking to undermine the EFCC boss, let the former Kogi governor report himself and clear himself. By these antics, he is spoling his name and may not amount to anything politically again.

80 billion naira allegedly mismanaged is not small money.

For the first time since Nuhu Ribadu, we see an energized EFCC. During the last administration, EFCC was almost invisible. So guess what: Olukoyede is more than qualified and those of us who would not support corruption even if carried out by our own father are standing with Olukoyede.

OP, try and do the same. How would you feel when you or your family members are in need of healthcare and someone who is a custodian of your money lies to you that the money is not available, only for him to deposit school fees 15 years in advance for his children from your money and you lose a loved one who could not assess basic medicare?

That is how corruption kills the defenders of corruption.

Change your ways.

God bless you a million time we Nigerian are the problem in this country someone stole that huge amount of money and someone is fighting him all we care now is if he s qualify for the post.

Forget all these talk..... people who voted Buhari twice back to back, and Asiwaju will vote Yahaya Bello for president if their mumu button is pressed by someone they look up to!

The question should be, why people like ganduje, Akpabio, Wike is not invited for a probe? That I think should be the genuine concern of everyone!

Rope all of them and probe them, not leaving out those who are Asiwaju buddies...

Una shame dey shame me ni! If Olukayode is interested in fighting corruption let him invite ganduje first. Fo those who don't know, Ganduje, according to Kano anti corruption agency was caught live on camera soliciting and receiving bribes in Dollars. Infact olukayode doesn't even need to look for evidence to nail ganduje. The evidence is there for all. Even former Emir of Kano, SLS is willing to stand and be a witness...

But olukayode in his emiloka wisdom, decided to leave a 90% ready fight, to go for a 10% ready fight.

Abeg una dey waste Nigerian resources! We need sharp sharp results, use Ganduje sharp sharp!

So una go install another northerner there

Seems you don't know the worth of Rivers state. You want to compare corruption to corruption and you and who will do that? Twelve bridges that normally Obio/Akpor LGA can comfortably build if not for corruption. I pity your lot. May God help your brain.

Don't forget the whole bridge he built is not worth upto 500 billion compared to 8 years income both from IGR and oil wells

shut up you know nothing, he did more than bridges, go through the link I dropped, stop talking about things you know nothing about, who is your governor? Show us what your own governor achieved in 8 years, Bridges are the least of what wike did In Rivers State.

@YAYA BELLO % REAL YOU WILL SURELY BE JAIL... LET'S US WAIT AND SEE.

The guy is more than qualified to work as an EFcc chairman ....he has a relevant qualifications and experience ..the immediate past chairman was just less than 10.years in the service and he was the chairman of EFcc without no hiccups ....and this is more qualified than Abdulrasheed Bawa , the Immediate past chairman of EFCC.... however, the reservation I have for this man is fighting corruption with a god-fearing mind....no!!! If you want to really fight corruption in Nigeria , you must be mean and wicked because those who have siphoned money doesn't have conscience and.must be treated as a criminal if convicted ....this man is too gentleman for this EFCC work....Naija is full of thefts in different sizes.....and this is why the result getting from this man Adminstration is below the expectations...you can be fighting corruption in Nigeria without breaking some laws and daring some powers that be....you can't get satisfactory result if you keep on following due process ...No!

Nuhu Ribadu , when he was the EFCc chairman, got the results because he came all out for the big corruption government officers....nobody can collect money from a robber with this kind of treatment Olukayode is giving to some.suspected criminals in the systems....this style of doing EFCC busimess will not all EFcc to recover more money for the government....pastor doesn't fit for this kind of post ..because pastor will be mindful of different aspects of scriptures and his ability not to go against them.....we need harden and repented criminals like them to fish those people out and jail them......Nuhu Ribadu wasn't harden criminal
.mbut.he really use all in his disposal to be on top of his job....pastor mentality can not allow anybody to be on top of his job as the EfCc Chairman

Apart from Umuahi, is any of the appointees qualified? Na paddy, paddy government.

Typical.

It has to be a man from that region alone that is qualified.

Fagbemi SAN is not qualified to be the Attorney General?

Pate, with his qualifications that some can only achieve in their dreams is not qualified to be Health Minister?

Tijani with a Ph.D amongst a plethora of degrees in ICT is not qualified to be a minister?

Wike, with his experience as a former Governor, former Minister is not qualified to be a Minister?


We know your type.

Why not suggest Odumeje?

E say him name na Anonpoet. But your posts gives you away . Yahaya Bello's stooge. You were paid to defend and discredit the EFCC allegations against him. The money you were paid would finish oh but your children would suffer the consequences.

Corrupt politicians are sponsoring people like this poster here.

The man is over qualified for the position. Even you the OP is qualified to hold the position. Remember the qualification to be the president of Nigeria is just to attempt Secondary school exam according to our constitution.

What I believe we should be looking at is, does he have the capacity to do the job? If you don't know, that job is a very risky job because you are going to be fighting those who destroyed Nigeria and who are also your "BOSS". Those who took that office before now are usually disgraced out of office. Whoever is holding that office needs the support of all Nigerians to succeed because corruption is everywhere in the country.

Note that we have 36 states in Nigeria and we have a lot of stronger Bellos in these states. Infact, we have lots of Bellos in the 2 houses and as ministers and head of various agencies and parastals and even other criminals. Nigeria is indeed in a pathetic state and needs lots of help. Please be the help, I will.

No he is not.
The premise on why you would want to ask this question/create this Topic in the first place, shows that there is a factor of unqualification that exists...

He is not qualified at all, from the first day he was announced and I went through his history, at 1st glance, any average person would see that he was not qualified to be chairman.

The media is very irresponsible. Including social media platforms that create opportunity for corruption to fight back. How is this news front page worthy, AT THIS TIME.

obataokenwa:
He's the worst EFCC chairman. Immediate past governors like Ikpeazu, Otom, and those rogues from the northern sides that stole the nation dry are all free while he's just trying to use Bello to be in the news like he's in charge.

How can the nation be like this, with every infrastructure gone and governors and ministers left after eight years and no case against them?

How can somebody like Wike not be probed when Rivers state got nothing to show with all the Trillions it made for eight years?

I was not happy seeing this man at Koinonia cos this guys may end up corrupting Apostle Selman with their pretense.

There are systematic approach to solving issues. Imagine if he started with all the people you mentioned? Let him solve that of BELLO first
