Why we built EFCC new office with N24bn – Ibrahim Magu

EFCC acting chairman, Ibrahim Magu, says he deserves praise and not condemnation for spending N24 billion in the newly constructed headquarters of the antigraft agency.

Speaking when he took journalists around the 10-floor building today, Magu said N24 billion is a modest amount for a building that should have cost the agency N100 billion to construct.

Reacting to the criticisms trailing the amount used in completing the building, Magu said his critics were being unfair because, “If you go and bring any valuer, they will value it for not less than N100 billion.”

“That shows prudence, that shows transparency,” Magu told newsmen on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the anti-graft agency had recently said it recovered N130 million as part of the illegal funds expended during the 2015 general elections as from January to date in Gombe state.
