“We came here to advocate for partnership which exists at National level and to commend your office for the good job you are doing in the state by ridding the state of persons involved in economic and financial crimes”
Penpushing further reports that, while also describing the acting Chariman of the commission, Ibrahim Magu, as “an astute and top-notch fighter of corruption”, Iji said the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC ) was proud to associate with the Commission, pledging support for the commission especially in the area of training of personnel.
He said, “Ibrahim Magu is known as an astute and top-notch fighter of economic and financial crimes with zero tolerance of corrupt practices. We are very proud to associate with him and the Commission.
“The EFCC is doing a good job and we thought it wise to come and commend you people and also to extend a hand of fellowship and also to let you know that we are ready to support and partner with you in training your personnel.”
The Uyo Zonal Head of the commission, Garba Dugum, while receiving the guests urged them to keep supporting the Commission in the fight against corruption, stressing that the sanctity of the country should be protected by everyone as a stakeholder.
“This country is for everybody and we all have a duty to protect the sanctity of this country. Nigeria is ours; we don’t have any other country. All our differences should be put aside so that we can fight this monster called corruption and make the country a better place”, Dugum said.
Penpushing also reports that Dugum stated that if there was judicious management of the country’s resources, the nation would be better and people will not leave the country in search of greener pastures, and urged the delegation to also spread the anti-corruption message during their sensitization programmes.
