According to him, the EFCC’s Chairman, since assuming office, has been focused on dealing with corrupt practices thereby reviving the hopes of Nigerians for economic development.
“At the Governing Council level, we have taken time to follow your activities, monitor your programmes and we are very confident that you are focused. What we have seen you do, the way you have directed the affairs, your frankness and your openness in admitting where there are shortcomings and proffering solutions and how to make things better, indicate very clearly that you are bent on leaving a legacy of honour on the seat, and for that we want to commend you.
“Neliaku also commended the EFCC Chairman and the Commission on complying with its Act in the appointment of public relations experts to manage the information architecture of the Commission. “We discovered that in the EFCC, you have always maintained the compliance principle which gives us the impression that this is indeed a professional organization. We want to commend you for the support that you have given Mr Dele Oyewale when he was appointed as the Head of Media and Publicity. He is one of us and we are giving him all the support that he needs. Before him Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, also our member, was there and when the opportunity arose he was elevated.”
