A recently retired senior prosecutor of Nigeria’s anticorruption watchdog, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Mr. Jonson Ojogbane has urged the commission’s leadership to create opportunities for its staff members to develop and expand their scope.

Pointing out that providing them with the best possible tools will help in the fight against graft in the country, Ojogbane who spoke with Law & Society Magazine at his retirement party last weekend in Abuja, further disclosed that attending courses and conferences across the world in the last 20 years sharpened his skills and broadened his worldview.

“I pray the current management will continue to empower them and give them the skills they need so that they will continue to deliver.

“Opportunities should be created for them to develop and expand their scope through training both locally and internationally. This will help them to acquire skills, knowledge and global best practices.

“The opportunities EFCC gave me to express myself, to fight for what is right in our country, in the face of fierce opposition, is unquantifiable.

“God helped me to survive all the antics mounted against me from outside and sometimes from within.

“I am one of the people that God helped to survive all the antics and to the glory of God, people are today celebrating with us.”

He expressed immense gratitude to the EFCC team, particularly members of the Legal and Prosecution Department who made various gift presentations to him.

Describing Legal and Prosecution Department as a family, Ojogbane said the love and camaraderie they share is what helped them work together for many years adding that, “that is the secret of our success story.”

The celebratory Ojogbane enthused that: “The EFCC staff, both junior, middle level and even senior directors were here. I only hope the system will continue to impact and encourage them.

“With EFCC Nigeria is on course to greater heights.”
