EFCC, Presidency Unite To Bolster Foreign Investment Ahead Of Global Summit
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Presidential Economic Advisory Council have sealed a new partnership to strengthen Nigeria’s foreign direct investment drive ahead of the World Investment Summit scheduled for November 2025.
The accord was struck in Abuja when the Council’s Director General, Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi, led a delegation to the EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede.
Adeyemi said the collaboration was necessary to safeguard Nigeria against dubious investors, noting that some prospective financiers could be linked to terrorism or illicit activities.
“We need to partner with you so that together we can make Nigeria great again,” he told the EFCC chief.
Olukoyede welcomed the initiative, stressing that the Commission’s anti-graft efforts were aimed at building investor confidence and supporting economic growth.
“We must find a balance between the fight against corruption and the sustenance of investment,” he said, vowing to go after rogue investors who undermine the economy.
The partnership is expected to enhance due diligence as Nigeria prepares to host the first-ever World Investment Summit on African soil.
