The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has disclosed the destinations of funds recovered from financial crimes, shedding light on how the proceeds are reinvested into national development.
In a statement on Sunday, EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede announced that ₦50 billion recovered last year was allocated to the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), which has so far benefited over 200,000 students across the country.
Olukoyede also revealed that part of the recovered funds was directed toward the establishment of credit corporations designed to provide civil servants with accessible loans, likely at single-digit interest rates.
According to the EFCC, these initiatives have made significant positive contributions to the Nigerian economy.
