The Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu on Tuesday, April 30, 2019 tasked in-coming and returning governors on the need to shun corruption. He made the charge at the induction ceremony for the governors-elect and their returning colleagues at the State House, Abuja. The EFCC boss explained that the nexus between corruption and terrorism is that corruption promotes insecurity. “Indeed some development scholars are of the view, which I also subscribe to, that militancy in the Niger Delta and insurgency in the North-east are by-products of corruption,” Magu said. He congratulated the governors-elect and urged them to make the fight against corruption a cardinal point in their administrations.
