The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has once again demonstrated its commitment to fighting corruption in Nigeria with the arrest and arraignment of Sulieman Garba Bulkwang, the Director of Human Resources Management of the Rural Electrification Agency (REA). Bulkwang’s arrest is a significant milestone in the EFCC’s efforts to root out corruption in Nigeria’s public sector.


According to the EFCC, Bulkwang was involved in a complex web of corruption, including the diversion of funds and money laundering. The agency’s investigation revealed that Bulkwang counselled a consultant to transfer N138,123,969 out of N279,330,000 paid by REA and indirectly converted N45,000,000 paid to several companies by consultants to REA.


The EFCC’s charges against Bulkwang are a testament to the agency’s commitment to holding public officials accountable for their actions. The charges include five counts of criminal diversion of funds and money laundering to the tune of N223,412,909. Bulkwang pleaded not guilty to all the charges.


The EFCC’s efforts to root out corruption have been relentless, and the agency’s commitment to justice is unwavering. The EFCC’s crackdown on corruption is a welcome development in Nigeria’s fight against corruption. The agency’s efforts have resulted in the recovery of billions of naira in stolen funds, and the prosecution of numerous public officials for corruption.


The arrest and arraignment of Bulkwang is a significant blow to corruption in Nigeria’s public sector. It sends a strong message that the EFCC will not tolerate corruption in any form, and that public officials will be held accountable for their actions.
The EFCC’s commitment to fighting corruption is in line with the Nigerian government’s efforts to promote transparency and accountability in the public sector. The agency’s efforts have been recognized both locally and internationally, and it continues to be a key player in Nigeria’s fight against corruption.


In recent years, the EFCC has recorded significant successes in its fight against corruption. The agency has recovered billions of naira in stolen funds and has prosecuted numerous public officials for corruption. The EFCC’s efforts have helped to promote transparency and accountability in the public sector and have contributed to Nigeria’s improved ranking in global corruption indices.


The EFCC’s arrest and arraignment of Sulieman Garba Bulkwang is a testament to the agency’s commitment to fighting corruption in Nigeria. The EFCC’s efforts to root out corruption are a welcome development in Nigeria’s fight against corruption, and the agency’s commitment to justice is unwavering.
