The Senate has confirmed Ola Olukoyede as the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), and Muhammad Hammajoda as the Secretary of the anti-graft agency.

The confirmation screening process was held at the Senate in Abuja on Wednesday.

Olukoyede’s confirmation comes after the suspension of the former EFCC chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa, by Tinubu nearly four months ago over allegations of corruption and embezzlement.
