The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has said that it expects all operators in the Nigerian financial system especially bankers to declare their assets latest June 1, 2021.
The Commission’s Executive Chairman, Abdulrashed Bawa, gave the ultimatum yesterday March 16, while speaking with journalists at the State House, Abuja after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari.
The EFCC boss said the move which is pursuant to the Bank Employees, ETC. (Declaration of Assets) Act 1986, is part of measures to sanitize the nation’s financial system.
It will also block some of the loopholes currently being exploited by unscrupulous players in the sector to undermine Nigerian economy through money laundering and illicit financial flows.
Section 1 of the Bank Employees, ETC. (Declaration of Assets) Act 1986 makes it mandatory for every employee of a Bank to make full disclosure of assets upon employment, and annually in subsequent years.
