The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has warned against sending congratulatory messages to its newly appointed chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa.
The anti-graft commission said it has observed the increasing number of messages published in the print media by groups and individuals, congratulating Mr. Abdulrasheed Bawa on his well-deserved appointment as the Executive Chairman of the Commission.
They note that the congratulatory messages are becoming a distraction as the new chairman is assuming leadership of the commission at a time of great challenge.
EFCC said the new boss desires to hit the ground running and will not like to be distracted but needs the support of all well-meaning individuals.
The commission in a Twitter post appealed to admirers of the new chairman publishing congratulatory messages on the media to channels such resources to making donations to Orphanages and Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs, camps.
