“The country is facing significant revenue shortages and leakages. To perform our mandate effectively, especially in funding the budget and paying salaries, we need your support to track and block fraudulent transactions,” he said.
He underscored the strategic importance of the EFCC to the OAGF’s work, stressing that only through effective cooperation could financial reforms and budgetary goals be fully achieved.
