A statement by the commission’s acting spokesman, Orilade, in Abuja on Thursday, January 3, disclosed that Magu made the promise during a working tour to its Lagos office.
He said: “With 312 convictions in 2018, we are strategising to redouble our efforts in 2019. This is part of our concerted efforts aimed at ensuring that the negative narrative of pervasive corruption in the system is changed for the better. And the perception that some persons are above the law, remains altered."
Magu noted that the EFCC had already secured three convictions few days into the new year, which he described as a good start.
