A former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mrs Farida Waziri has expressed shock over the completion of a N24billion office of the commission in Abuja.
The project had commenced when she was still chairman, but now, years after she has left the position, the complex was completed.
She claimed that it was one of the advantages of continuity and that she was pleasantly surprised by the development.
When she visited the complex, she said; “My first reaction was that of shock and excitement.
“I have not been to Trump Tower but it looks like Trump Tower to me.
“Somebody asked me: Is that EFCC headquarters? He said he thought it was an oil company and I said no, it is EFCC headquarters.
“So I was so happy and I felt so proud that I thought about the project. And also I didn’t just think about it but I took positive steps to initiate it.”
She added “I had the vision and I will say Magu actualized it and that is how it should be in a country like Nigeria. There should be continuity in government. It should not be that when someone starts something, you come in and because you didn’t start it, you trample on it and say it is not good enough.
“It is happening every day in our life and in this country especially at state levels. A governor comes up with a project, another will dismantle it.”
