In a speech at the event, the group noted that it was elated that “certain past tendencies that encouraged corruption have been cleaned up by the new management of the agency, adding that “strict observance of financial regulations and enforcement of procurement laws are now the norm rather than exception.

” We have seen records of sanctions imposed and disciplinary actions in line with service rules. The compliance level across the free zones are at all time high level due to the new management’s strict enforcement of service regulations. This was also attested to by reports of the Auditor General of the Federation.
