BREAKING: Senate confirms Bawa as EFCC chairman

The senate has confirmed the appointment of Abdulrasheed Bawa as the substantive chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The upper legislative chamber confirmed Bawa after screening him for over two hours on Tuesday.

Last week, President Muhammadu Buhari nominated Buhari as EFCC chairman and asked the upper legislative chamber to confirm him.

Bawa, who is 40 years old, is one of the pioneer EFCC cadet officers. He is currently the Lagos zonal head of the anti-graft agency.
