The Ilorin Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) yesterday presented N111.4million cash recovered from treasury looters to the Kwara State Governor, Alhaji Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq.

Speaking during the presentation at the office of the EFCC in Ilorin, the zonal head, Mr Isyaku Shari, said the commission, which started its work in February this year at the zonal office has achieved a lot in terms of recovery and conviction of corrupt individuals.

He added that the commission also saved the state from financial recklessness in May this year at the eve of handing and taking over of government.

Shari said the zone had 29 convictions and over N500million recovery of both assets and cash, part of which is presented to the state.

Abdulrazaq thanked the EFCC and disclosed that the cash will be used for the social investment programme to lift poor people out of poverty.

While commending the commission, the governor said EFCC is indeed a partner in progress.
