The Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, OSGF, has distanced itself from corruption allegations against SGF George Akume’s Personal Assistant, Andrew Torhile Uchi, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
The OSGF noted that “the leadership of the office is not in any way involved in the alleged misconduct as it has always maintained a strong commitment to transparency, accountability, and integrity.”
In a statement by the Director of Information and Public Relations, Segun Imohiosen, the OSGF, recognised the efforts of the anti-graft agency, to ensure that those found culpable are held accountable, while asking the public not to speculate or draw conclusions just yet.
