The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has reaffirmed its commitment to empowering and supporting its female officers as part of activities to mark International Women’s Day 2026.
The Executive Chairman of the Commission, Ola Olukoyede, gave the assurance on Wednesday at a seminar held at the EFCC Headquarters.
In a statement posted on its X handle on Wednesday, he stated that “the commission remains committed to encouraging female officers and ensuring that their welfare needs are adequately addressed to enable them to effectively discharge their duties.
“EFCC prioritizes the health, safety, and well-being of all its personnel, special attention is given to female officers to ensure they are emotionally and physically stable to carry out their responsibilities.
According to him, the commission has introduced several initiatives aimed at improving the work-life balance and dignity of female staff. These include the establishment of a crèche in EFCC offices to ease the burden of infant care for nursing mothers.
“This consideration led to the establishment of a crèche in our offices to reduce the stress of infant care for our nursing mothers. The need to enhance the dignity of our female staff was key to developing policies aimed at protecting them from any form of abuse or harassment,” he said.
He also disclosed that the commission has activated its Sexual Harassment and Bullying Policy and is determined to enforce it strictly to ensure a safe and respectful work environment.
