The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has said that it has strengthened its capacity to combat emerging financial crimes. EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, recently had his say at the inaugural Town Hall Meeting of the EFCC’s Zero Tolerance Club at Ahmadu Bello University, Kongo Campus, Zaria.
Identifying delays in Nigeria’s criminal justice system as a major obstacle to the fight against corruption, Olukoyede assured Nigerians that EFCC now possesses the technology, expertise and investigative tools required to counter increasingly sophisticated criminal schemes.
He concluded by stressing the need for faster investigations, prosecutions and adjudication to sustain public confidence in Nigeria’s anti-corruption efforts.
A statement quoted Ola as saying, “Corruption undermines public confidence, weakens institutions, discourages investment, and diverts resources intended for national development, affecting not only government institutions but also the quality of life of ordinary citizens.
He assured the meeting that, though technology is making fraudsters devise new schemes to ply their trade, the EFCC equally has modern investigative techniques and innovative enforcement strategies to fight them.
He reaffirmed the Commission’s commitment to advancing anti-corruption advocacies towards rooting out corruption, economic and financial crimes in the country.”
