EFCC: 25 Countries Endorses Ibrahim Magu ;SEE LIST OF COUNTRIES

-
Inspite of senate's rejection to confirm him twice, the acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr Ibrahim Magu, has received massive endorsement from 25 countries around the world over his fearless corruption fight in Nigeria.


 The endorsement is the outcome of an opinion poll conducted by United Kingdom -based Global Peace Movement International.

 The outcome of the poll is coming a week after the Transparency International (TI) released its latest transparency index in which Nigeria, for the first time in over a decade, moved up in the global anti corruption and transparency ranking.

 This development, analysts insist, is directly related to the efforts of the EFCC to tackle corruption headlong and change the negative perception of the country.

 Speaking on the poll, the President General of the UK- based Global Peace Movement International, Dr Mike Uyi, explained that the decision to conduct the poll was based on the need to conduct an international survey to ascertain global opinion on the work of the EFCC, pointing out that Magu secured more than 96 per cent endorsement by respondents, with the United States of America, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Russia, Canada, China and Belgium all commending the work of the EFCC in tackling graft.
According to the report of the survey, the US leads the list of countries that endorsed Magu with 92 per cent responding in favour of the work Magu was doing, while 7 per cent responded in the negative. 

 The UK returned a 96 per cent affirmative and France 85. Other results of the poll showed 90 per cent Germans voting in favour of the acting EFCC chairman, while 9 per cent disapproved. Russia had 62 per cent in favour of Magu, while 29 per cent disapproved. Greece was 73 per cent in favour, with 22 per cent going the other way. Malta had 80 per cent in favour with 17 per cent disapproval; Sweden, 85 per cent approval, and 7 per cent disapproval; Belgium, 85 approvals and 8 disapproval; Switzerland had 76 approval, and 11 per cent disapproval; Norway, 85 approval and 8 per cent against; Austria, 81 per cent approval and 6 per cent disapproval, while India had 53 per cent approval and 26 per cent against. Others are Brazil with 65 per cent approval and 27 per cent disapproval, same with China having 65 per cent approval rating for the acting EFCC chairman while 22 per cent disapproved, Denmark had 84 per cent approval and 4 per cent disapproval, while Canada had a 91 per cent approval and 3 per cent disapproval. Japan was 92 per cent approval and 3 disapproval, Luxembourg, 83 per cent approval and 4 disapproval, Mexico, 83 per cent approval and 7 disapproval, Portugal, 68 per cent and 22 per cent , South Korea, 74 per cent and 16 per cent , Principality of Monaco had 80 per cent approval and 11 per cent disapproval, The Netherlands, 82 per cent approval and 5 per cent disapproval, while Lithuania had a 72 approval and 13 per cent rating for the acting EFCC chairman.

 Uyi also stated that the results of the survey on other public elected or appointed officials in Nigeria will soon be released to the public

A new vaccine-based treatment for HIV has succeeded in suppressing the virus in five patients, raising hopes further research could help prevent Aids without the need for daily drugs. Independent of the United Kingdom reported on Friday that researchers combined two innovative HIV vaccines with a drug usually used to treat cancer in the trial, conducted over three years at the IrsiCaixa Aids Research Institute in Barcelona. After receiving the treatment, the virus was undetectable in five out of 24 participants and its spread was stopped by their immune systems, reported the New Scientist. One of them has been drug-free for seven months. Around 18 million people – half of all those living with HIV around the world – take ART to slow the progression of the infection, according to the UN. But these drugs are expensive and can cause unpleasant side effects. Patients have to remember to take them every day, sometimes over their entire lives. Mitchell Warren, executive dire...

Nigeria's imediate past minister of Finance ,Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has been indicted by the Nigerian senate over a N1.7t loss in revenue. According to the Senate Ad Hoc Committee on Alleged Misuse, Under-Remittance and Other Fraudulent Activities, revenue agencies short-changed the Federal Government to the tune of N1.7tn as unremitted revenue generated between 2012 and 2016. The panel blamed it on a memo by a former Minister of Finance, Mrs. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, who allegedly issued the memo to the agencies to remit 25 per cent of revenue they generated to the Federal Government and spend 75 per cent on their expenditures. An interim report by the committee chaired by Senator Olamilekan Adeola, details this. The panel said the amount to be remitted to the Federal Government during the period by 93 agencies it investigated was N21.5tn. It alleged that 25 of the 93 agencies covered defrauded the government of a total of N1,695,585,887,406.
