Nigeria’s Anti-graft Agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has expressed its commitment to strengthening all existing relations with agencies in the country to achieve its objectives.
The Executive Chairman of the Commission Abdulrasheed Bawa stated this when the Commandant of the Nigerian Air Force Institute of Technology, NAFIT, Air Vice Marshal P.O Jemitola paid a courtesy visit to the Commission in Abuja.
The EFCC boss who spoke through the Secretary to the Commission, Dr George Ekpungu said, the Commission was aware of the existing relationship between the Commission and NAFIT, adding that the visit by the Commandant would help to deepen the relationship.
He said, “as we have noted, there is an existing relationship. I think your visit is to deepen that relationship. We have reached a level whereby all the things you are talking about bother on the translation or the operationalization of our MOU.”
Also, the Commandant, NAFIT, AVM Jemitola commended the collaboration between the two institutions, noting the Commission’s assistance in offering teaching and internship opportunities to cyber security students of the Institute.
“I want to express our gratitude to the Commission because when we conducted our staff audit, the EFCC assisted us in the verification of some of the staff with respect to their qualification. That assistance is well recognized and appreciated.” He said.
He further stated that the Institute was determined to improve its partnership with the Commission in manpower development, and called for greater commitment to hosting a joint conference on cyber security.
