The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says it will go after looters of funds meant for the development of the nation’s education sector.

Acting Chairman of the commission, Mr Ibrahim Magu, disclosed this when the management team of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) visited him in Abuja on Thursday. Spokesman of the EFCC, Mr Wilson Uwujaren, who reported the visit in a statement, said the team was led by the Fund’s Executive Secretary, Dr Abdullahi Baffa.


Magu’s assurance was said to be in response to Baffa’s request for EFCC’s assistance to tackle the menace of fraud in the execution of TETFund’s projects across the country.


He told the TETFund management that the commission had identified people that could be held liable for the infractions. The work at hand is enormous, and we are intensifying investigations in all the zones of the country.
