President Goodluck Jonathan on Wednesday in Abuja at the swearing-in of ICPC Commissioner, Alhaji Bako Abdullahi, from Bauchi State charged the ICPC and EFCC to highlight their achievements to the public in order to correct erroneous impression of ineptitude.
He also swore in Chief Eze Iheoma (SAN) as the Chairman, National Population Commission (NPC), as well as two members of the Commission, Dr Aliyu Kwali and Bala Banye.
The Special Advisers to the President on National Assembly Matters, Sen. Makanjuola Ajadi, and on NEPAD, Mrs Fidelia Njeze, were also sworn in by the President.
“ICPC and EFCC must make Nigerians believe that they are working. I know what you are doing, but not everybody knows what you are doing.
“Ordinarily, these are agencies whose activities are not supposed to be made too loud because you don't celebrate a situation where you send 100 or 200 Nigerians to prison,’’ he said.
The President contended that contrary to the erroneous impression being created by some critics, his administration had done creditably in the fight against corruption.
He said that majority of those criticising his government of not fighting corruption were even those that are "very corrupt’’.
Jonathan stressed that to correct such negative impression, the anti-graft agencies “must proof to Nigerians and show to Nigerians that you are working”.
