The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has warned Nigerians to stop sending congratulatory messages to its newly appointed Chairman, Adulrasheed Bawa.
The commission said it has observed the increasing number of congratulatory messages published in the print media by groups and individuals, adding that it is gradually turning into a distraction.
Recall that was Bawa confirmed by the Senate last week following his nomination by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The 40-year-old’s confirmation has drawn praise from many sectors with congratulatory messages published in the print media by groups and individuals.
“What he needs from well-wishers and indeed all Nigerians, is support and prayers, and more importantly, credible information that will further the work of the Commission,” a statement from the EFCC statement read.
Meanwhile, Bawa also appealed to his admirers and well-wishers to channel the money spent on the paid ads to more worthy causes, including donations to orphanages and refugee camps.
