Chairman
of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission
(ICPC), Dr Musa Adamu Aliyu, has taken an important step in strengthening the
nation’s fight against corruption by initiating a high-level meeting with the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), demonstrating ICPC’s
commitment to fighting corruption through enhanced inter-agency collaboration.
The
meeting, which was held at the headquarters of the EFCC yesterday, had in
attendance the chairmen and management staff of the two anti-graft agencies and
was aimed to deepen mutual cooperation and synergize efforts for greater impact
in Nigeria’s anti-corruption drive, and discuss other areas of collaborations.
In
his remarks, the chairman of ICPC stated that the visit to the EFCC was a show
of commitment to the existing relationship between the two agencies.
He
expressed the readiness of ICPC, under his leadership to provide the needed
support and cooperation in the interest of eradicating corruption in Nigeria.
“It
is important for us to work together, and we cannot do this without a good
relationship. That’s why I think I need to extend this hand of friendship to
the EFCC so that we can effectively partner in the fight against corruption in
Nigeria.
“I
am aware that there’s a MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) between the EFCC and
ICPC and I’m willing and ready to partner whenever there’s any issue of
interest in the fight against corruption.
