He disclosed this in Abuja on Wednesday, March 13, 2024 while receiving officials of BudgIT that paid him a courtesy visit in his office.

According to him, public policies are designed for public good but without strict enforcement of relevant laws, the objectives of the policies may not be achieved. “I have found out that the difference between policy and impact are the issues of compliance and enforcement”, he said.

While applauding BudgiT for its works in instilling transparency and accountability in public financing, the EFCC’s boss assured the organization of robust collaboration and active engagement. “The work you do and your reports are very critical as sources of intelligence and information to us. If I am going to collaborate with any organization at all, it has to be BudgiT. We are on the side of enforcement and you are on the side of information gathering. We must have a meeting point where we work together. We will give you the teeth to bite or do the biting for you”, he said.
