The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has invited proprietors of private Universities and other institutions of higher learning charging fees in dollars.
The agency in a statement posted on Wednesday on its verified X account said it has also raised a Special Task Force in all its Zonal Commands for the enforcement of extant laws against currency mutilation and dollarisation of the economy.
It said that the Task Force which was inaugurated by EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, was raised to protect the economy from abuses, leakages and distortions exposing it to instability and disruption.
It said: “Already, the Commission has made some arrests of perpetrators of issuance of invoices in dollars and mutilation of the Naira in Lagos and Port Harcourt.
“Also, proprietors of private Universities and other institutions of higher learning charging fees in dollars have been invited by the Commission.”
The anti-graft agency said it was committed to the enforcement of all laws in place for the reflation and stimulation of the economy.
