EFCC Releases Full List Of 58 Ex Governors That Looted N2.187 trillion
The EFCC has published a comprehensive roster detailing 58 former governors accused of misappropriating N2.187 trillion.
The Economy and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has accused a minimum of 58 former governors of participating in the misallocation, embezzlement, or laundering of around N2.187 trillion within a 25-year timeframe.
This total does not encompass assets confiscated globally or those presently under investigation, which add up to billions of Naira.
The N2.2 trillion looted is comparable to the combined budgets of Lagos State and the South-East states for 2024, totaling N2.25 trillion and N2.29 trillion respectively.
This amount surpasses the budgets of the North-Central states and North-East states for 2024, which are N1.89 trillion and N1.60 trillion, by several billion.
The EFCC is presently investigating and prosecuting 58 former governors from various regions across the nation. Since the reinstatement of civilian government on May 29, 1999, there have been at least 170 governors serving in Nigeria's 36 states.
