1. The management of the East High College and Academy concedes that the EFCC is empowered by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to investigate financial transactions of private and public individuals and organizations.

2. That the management welcomes the Agency’s invitation with a clean conscience and will be cooperating with the Agency’s officials, each step of propertyhas
