Ola Olukoyede has been approved by President Tinubu to serve as the Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for a renewable term of four years in the first instance, pending Senate confirmation, as announced by presidential media aide, Ajuri Ngelali.
Ola Olukoyede, a lawyer with over twenty-two years of experience as a regulatory compliance consultant and specialist in fraud management and corporate intelligence, fulfills the statutory requirement for appointment as Chairman of the EFCC, given his extensive experience in the operations of the commission. He previously served as Chief of Staff to the Executive Chairman (2016-2018) and Secretary to the Commission (2018-2023).
Olukoyede’s appointment follows the resignation of the suspended Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Abdulrasheed Bawa.
Additionally, President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of Muhammad Hassan Hammajoda to serve as the Secretary of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for a renewable term of five years in the first instance, pending Senate confirmation. Hammajoda, a public administrator with extensive experience in public finance management, holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting from the University of Maiduguri and a Masters in Business Administration from the same university. He started his career as a lecturer at the Federal Polytechnic, Mubi, before transitioning into banking.
President Bola Tinubu has tasked the new leadership of the EFCC to justify the confidence given to them in the national assignment, as the renewed war on corruption, undertaken through a reformed institutional architecture in the anti-corruption sector, remains a central pillar of the President’s Renewed Hope agenda.
