for her invitation to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) office for a N138 million fraud charge, former Women Affairs Minister Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye has spoken out.
As she confirmed her attendance in the commission’s Abuja offices on Thursday, Kennedy-Ohanenye stated that she had been asked to provide clarification on certain financial expenses that she had incurred while working in the ministry.
When the president reorganized the cabinet, Kennedy-Ohanenye, a minister in Bola Tinubu’s administration, was fired.
Originally a lawyer, the former minister returned to acting and released her first film a few months after leaving office.
The former minister further clarified the specifics of the anti-graft agency’s offer, characterizing the EFCC as professional.
“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 in a post on X immediately after her release.

Additionally, she gave the panel her word that she would be willing to assist with its current inquiry.
The former minister stated, “My team and I carried out our responsibilities with diligence during my tenure, making good use of the resources at our disposal and even adding personal funds to show our commitment to the Renewed Hope Agenda’s success for Nigerian women and children.”
