Former South-East Spokesman to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Chairman of the Forum of Former Members of the Enugu State House of Assembly, Denge Josef Onoh, has commended the Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Ola Olukoyede, for his leadership and record-breaking achievements in the fight against corruption.
​In a press statement issued on Monday, July 20, 2026, in Abuja, Onoh lauded the officers and men of the anti-graft agency for what he described as an unprecedented surge in asset recoveries, improved prosecution rates, and intensified enforcement against economic and financial crimes across the nation.
Onoh highlighted the EFCC’s continuous retrieval of billions in stolen public funds, illegal proceeds, and real estate assets, noting that these recoveries directly support national economic recovery efforts under President Tinubu’s administration.
He praised Mr. Olukoyede for instilling professional discipline, transparency, and independence within the Commission, steering clear of political distractions while maintaining strict adherence to the rule of law.
Onoh commended the Commission’s relentless stance against digital financial crimes, illegal currency trading, and high-profile public sector corruption, noting that these efforts have restored international investor confidence in Nigeria’s financial ecosystem.
​”Under the leadership of Mr. Ola Olukoyede, the EFCC has demonstrated unwavering courage, institutional integrity, and an unmatched record of performance. The vast sums of recovered assets and the strategic enforcement against financial crimes serve as proof that the anti-corruption crusade is yielding real, verifiable results.”
​”The officers and men of the EFCC deserve national recognition for their dedicated service. Their uncompromising stance sends a strong, clear message that Nigeria will no longer serve as a safe haven for illicit financial flows, abuse of public trust, or economic sabotage.”
Onoh urged Nigerians, public office holders, and civil society organizations to continue offering unalloyed support to the EFCC leadership to sustain the momentum in safeguarding the country’s economic integrity.
