Arewa Youth Consultative Forum has lauded President Muhammadu Buhari for appointing Abdulrasheed Bawa, a young man to head the Economic and Financial Crime Commission.
In a statement signed by its National President, Alhaji Yerima Shettima, and made available to our correspondent, the group said the appointment of Bawa was an indication that time was ripe for “a shift from the old brigade to young turks, who have the productive energy to turn around the fortunes of this nation, at a critical point in our development history”.
AYCF president said has confidence in “young, brilliant and experienced men and women in today’s Nigeria, just like Bawa”.
The group, therefore, implored the new EFCC boss “to justify the confidence reposed in him, not only by the Presidency but also the Nigerian youth, who see him as one proof that young people can apply special skills to boost nation-building”.
The group urged the EFCC boss to deal with the challenges of financial crimes across the nation, charge suspects to court, using strong evidence and avoid media trials as was the case before he came in.
