The commissioner commended the EFCC for its patriotic efforts to stamp out corruption and abuse of public office, saying the money would be duly appropriated and deployed to serve the public that it is meant for.

Abdulrazaq, in turn, commended the anti-graft agency which he observed had continued to recover funds stolen from the public treasury, saying the funds would be judiciously used for social investment programmes of the administration.
The anti-graft agency had earlier made similar recoveries of public funds.
