“We have to help our friends; I am proud of the EFCC and privileged to be of some help,’’ Ent wistle was quoted as saying.

The statement added that the envoy expressed delight that President Muhammadu Buhari had already asked the National Assembly to confirm the appointment of the EFCC Chairman and wished him well.

It quoted the EFCC boss as saying: “It is significant that the envoy is leaving at a time the commission is having its best relationship with the U.S”.

Magu, the statement further said, thanked the envoy for his support and cooperation and urged him to continue being Nigerian`s ambassador as he leaves for his country.

He also urged Entwistle to continue monitoring his performance as EFCC chairman and assured the envoy that he would not compromise his integrity in the anti-graft war.
