As a law-abiding citizen and advocate for transparency and accountability, she views this process as a necessary part of public service and remains confident that her cooperation will contribute positively to the Commission’s efforts.

“We also wish to extend our profound appreciation to the EFCC for the professionalism, maturity, and patience displayed in handling her temporary absence. Their conduct throughout this period has been both measured and exemplary, reflecting an agency committed not only to justice but also to fairness and respect for individual rights and circumstances”.

Mrs. Achimugu continues to be an advocate of the rule of law and believes in the responsibility of every Nigerian to uphold the credibility and accountability of our institutions.
