Former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Sadiya Umar Farouq, has arrived at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) headquarters to address questions related to her tenure. The anti-graft agency had invited her to provide clarifications on issues under investigation, specifically concerning the alleged laundering of N37.1 billion during her term.

Mrs. Umar-Farouq, expressing pride in her service to the nation, stated, “I will defend my actions, stewardship, and programs during my tenure whenever I am called upon to do so.” Her willingness to cooperate comes after a previous failure to attend the EFCC invitation. In a letter of apology, she explained her initial non-appearance, indicating her readiness to engage with the commission now.

The spokesperson for the EFCC, Dele Oyewale, confirmed the former minister’s commitment to cooperate. This development follows a period of speculation and underscores the importance of transparency and accountability in public service.

The allegations of financial misconduct have raised eyebrows, prompting the EFCC to delve into the matter. Mrs. Umar-Farouq’s appearance reflects her commitment to addressing the concerns raised against her and providing clarity on the financial transactions during her tenure.

As the fraud inquiry progresses, it remains to be seen how this development will impact the perception of governance and accountability in Nigeria. The public eagerly awaits further details from the EFCC’s investigation into the alleged financial irregularities during the former minister’s stewardship.
