EFCC Moves to Probe Obasanjo
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has said it had written to ministers and
government agencies requesting for contract awards in the last four years.
This period comprehensively covers the period of obasanjo’s presidency.
EFCC head of Media and Publicity stated in a statement that it had asked for "the list of registered
contractors, all contracts awarded in the last four years, amount of contract (s) awarded to these
contractors, status of the contract (s) and any other relevant information".
"The step is being taken in line with the provisions of part II, section 6 of the EFCC Act 2004,"
"The decision to obtain this list of federal contractors is also a follow-up to the discoveries of the
various probe panels that multi-million naira contracts were awarded to contractors who were neither
registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) nor the awarding government ministries or
parastatals.
"At the end of its findings, the commission also intends to advise government appropriately on award
of contracts".
Reports say that the EFCC probe became inevitable following the shocking revelation of monumental
frauds in power sector, FCT and some other government agencies during Obasanjo’s administration.
African Examiner gathered that the anti-graft agency has briefed President Yar'Adua over the issue
and has given his blessing to the probe of his predecessor former president Olusegun Obasanjo.
