The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) said the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Abdulrasheed Bawa, is the best gift to Nigeria’s anti corruption fight.
HURIWA’s National Coordinator, Mr Emmanuel Onwubiko, while speaking in Owerri, described as surprising the calls for Bawa’s removal, arguing that his track records as helmsman of the EFCC speaks volumes.
He urged Bawa to remain resolute and committed in the discharge of his constitutional duties adding that HURIWA, in concert with other well-meaning Nigerians had passed a vote of confidence in him.
“Bawa is such a fine officer and gentleman whose career cannot be blighted by politicians who looted their states.
“His rise to national prominence led to his being listed among Nigeria’s Under 50 Leaders in Public Service, alongside other government appointees including Ahmad Salihijo Ahmad of the Rural Electrification Agency, Hadiza sman of the Nigerian Ports Authority, Elijah Onyeagba, Nigeria’s ambassador to the Republic of Burundi among others.

United States President Joe Biden on Thursday nominated General Charles Brown for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lauding the Black career pilot as a hero who’d not only survived ejecting from a fighter jet into a swamp but fought against racism.
If confirmed by the Senate, “CQ” Brown, as he’s known, will become Biden’s senior military advisor. Only the second Black man ever picked for the job, his confirmation — serving alongside Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin — would mark the first time that African Americans have simultaneously filled both of the military’s top jobs.
“General Brown is a warrior descended from a proud line of warriors,” Biden said in the White House Rose Garden, noting Brown’s military family.
