This development was announced by its Spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja.
According to him, the Task Force, inaugurated by the Chairman of the Commission, Ola Olukoyede, is to protect the economy from abuse, leakages and distortions that expose it to instability and disruptions.
