Former Minister of Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, has confirmed her visit to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) headquarters in Abuja to clarify financial expenditures during her tenure.
Reports indicate that the EFCC questioned and detained her on Thursday over an alleged N138 million fraud.
Addressing the matter in a series of posts on X on Friday, Kennedy-Ohanenye stated that she arrived at the EFCC office at 2:15 pm and left by 6:50 pm after providing “comprehensive clarifications” regarding her time in office.
She commended the anti-graft agency for its professionalism and pledged full cooperation for any further inquiries.
“I commend the EFCC for their professionalism and hospitality, and I appreciate the opportunity to address the matters that have recently been circulating in the media,” she wrote.
The former minister insisted that she managed public funds prudently, adding that she even used personal resources to support government initiatives under President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
“During my tenure, my team and I executed our duties diligently, utilizing available resources effectively, and even supplementing with personal funds, demonstrating our dedication to the success of the Renewed Hope Agenda for Nigerian women and children,” she said.
