The President particularly commended the EFCC boss for setting up a special task force on currency offences to address naira abuse and the dollarisation of the economy, as well as for developing a strategic framework to tackle cybercrime and economic sabotage.
According to Tinubu, these initiatives have helped restore public confidence in the EFCC and align with his administration’s commitment to economic stability and institutional renewal under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
While celebrating Olukoyede’s achievements, the President prayed for God’s continued guidance, strength, and wisdom for the EFCC chairman as he leads Nigeria’s foremost anti-graft agency.
“President Tinubu prays that Almighty God will guard and guide the EFCC chairman and bless his determination to free Nigeria from the economic ills that have tied us down for ages,” the statement added.
