The chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mrs Farida Waziri, has disclosed that 72 per cent (about 26) of former governors in Nigeria are being investigated by the commission.

The commission has also recorded over 600 convictions and recovered almost 12 billion dollars in the last eight years.

Mrs Waziri made the disclosure on Wednesday night, while delivering a lecture entitled, "Good Governance: Leadership and Accountability as Imperatives,"  in Lagos at a business lecture to mark the 62nd anniversary of Lagos Country Club.
