The Ogun State Government has clarified it is not challenging the constitutionality of the EFCC in the Supreme Court.
Reports had suggested otherwise, but Governor Dapo Abiodun’s special adviser, on Media and Strategy, Hon. Kayode Akinmade, said that the state is only contesting the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit’s guidelines, which they believe unfairly restrict local governance.
The Supreme Court previously ruled on the EFCC’s constitutionality, and Ogun State considers that matter settled. The state aims to invalidate NFIU guidelines that hinder its economic interests, emphasizing the need for local governments to access their funds freely.
