EFCC to probe Petroleum Industry

The Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr Ibrahim Magu, had the anti-corruption body will soon begin the probe of the nation’s oil and gas industry. 

He was speaking in Abuja when he appeared before the House of Representives' Committtee on Financial Crimes to defend the EFCC budget. He further added that the former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke; her counterpart in the Ministry of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala; and an oil magnate, will all be subject to scrutiny. 

“The commission will soon move into the petroleum sector”, but called on the National Assembly to support the efforts of the agency by making more funds available for its operations.
