Nigerian oil mogul has blamed the country's economic woes
on the activities of the Economic Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC.
Speaking on ways to rejig the economy, he said "the only
solution to Nigeria's economic problems is one - addressing
the cancer that has persistently eaten up our Forex.
He added that the cancer responsible for the proliferating
Dollar/Naira disparity can be eliminated if 10 modular
refineries are set up.
He then dropped a bombshell by saying "the second cancer
that is affecting us is the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC)."
"The duty of EFCC is to look into financial crimes. The duty
of EFCC is to look into those that have taken so many
waivers. So many people in Nigeria today are big men
because they are enjoying government waivers. Majority of
Nigeria's big men are lazy people. They always find a way
to take waivers.
"The EFCC must come to terms with their duty and create a
real economic crime desk. If the EFCC can look into every
importer accessing dollars and what our dollars are being
used for. If the EFCC can create an economic code that
everybody that must use to access dollars making it
mandatory that every bid should be made through the EFCC,
if everybody is made to sign a guarantee that the
government can look into whatever he/she has bid and
monitor the use of the money, those that are milking
Nigeria's dollars will run away.
"The EFCC must stop the pursuit of only past leaders. Not
that they should not do their job by going after past leaders,
but they need to look into the amount of Nigerians that are
taking waivers, they need to look at the number of people
accessing dollars for agricultural contents who divert the
same dollars to Dubai and then bring the dollar back into the
country to make money without doing anything.'
