President Bola Tinubu has directed the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to unfreeze an account belonging to the Osun State Government.
The President issued a personal statement on Thursday regarding the directive.
He stated that he felt deeply embarrassed by the freezing of the account.
Tinubu clarified that his embarrassment was not about the EFCC exercising its mandate with a court order.
The specific reasons for the account freeze were not detailed in the statement.
The EFCC had previously obtained a court order to freeze the state government's funds.
This action by the President aims to restore access to the Osun State Government's finances.
The situation highlights a tension between anti-graft efforts and government operations.
