The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has received a call to forge closer ties with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to fulfil its mandate and encourage public involvement in the fight against corruption in Nigeria.
Mr Philip Arome Omachi, President of the Safety Ambassadors Network, made this appeal on July 5 during an advocacy visit to the Kaduna Zonal Command of the Commission. He emphasized that the EFCC requires the support of Nigerians to achieve long-lasting results.
In response, ACE 1 Aisha Abubakar, the Acting Commander of the Kaduna Zonal Command, assured the visitors that the Commission is committed to its preventive efforts in enlightening the public about the negative consequences of corruption and fostering a sense of ownership in combating this societal ill.
ACE Abubakar encouraged the visitors to remain vigilant and report any form of corrupt practices in society. She further emphasized that the EFCC is receptive to advice and eager to collaborate with key stakeholders in the fight against corruption.
The EFCC’s collaboration with NGOs and the active involvement of the public is essential in tackling corruption effectively and promoting transparency and accountability in Nigeria.
