Nuhu Ribadu, former head of Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), discusses the successes and challenges of creating a national anti-corruption task force. He explains how he became head of the EFCC and the process of creating a clear vision for the reforms. Ribadu details how the EFCC was able to prosecute some of Nigeria’s most notorious fraudsters in an attempt to change the country’s culture of corruption. He also touches on engaging with the media and civil society to get citizens on board with anti-corruption efforts, reaching out to the international community for advice and training resources, and recruiting staff. He explains the effects naming political candidates under investigation for corruption had on elections and political parties and briefly outlines the dangers of going after some of Nigeria’s wealthiest and most prominent citizens. Finally Ribadu discusses the importance of leadership and support from the president in carrying out successful reforms and how ultimately the loss of that support, he believes, crippled the organization and reversed previous successes.
