EFCC reveals names of ex governors on N2.187 trillion embezzlement list

Not less than 58 names of former governors are allegedly involved in the misappropriation, embezzlement, or laundering of approximately N2.187 trillion over a span of 25 years as released by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

According to reports, this amount does not include properties seized worldwide or those currently being investigated, which amount to billions of Naira.

,,,,,The amount of N2.2 trillion that was looted is similar to the combined budgets of Lagos State and the South-East states for 2024, totaling N2.25 trillion and N2.29 trillion respectively. This figure exceeds 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 anti-craft agency is currently investigating, probing, and prosecuting 58 ex-governors from various regions of the country. Since the restoration of civilian government on May 29, 1999, there have been at least 170 governors serving in the 36 states of Nigeria.
