“It is a day for sober reflection for us and for reviewing our experiences and strategising to find better ways and means of improving the successes in the fight against corruption,” he said.

Jega also commended the EFCC for its successes as well as other anti-corruption agencies for their contributions to tackling crime in Nigeria.

“While we commend them, they also need to intensify their efforts in the fight against corruption because we see that the more effort is made, the more difficult it becomes.

“The EFCC and other anti-corruption agencies need to continue demonstrating that there are no sacred cows in the fight against corruption.

“We will want to see a rededicated effort in terms of effective utilisation of governance of resources saved from corruption,” Jega added.
