The Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Abdulrasheed Bawa has assured Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) across the country of improved collaboration in the fight against corruption, stressing that partnership with stakeholders is one of the strategic objectives of the EFCC.
Bawa made this known on Tuesday, 16 August 2022 at the Commission’s Headquarters, Jabi while addressing members of the Committee of Youth on Mobilization and Sensitization (CYMS) during a courtesy call.
He commended the CYMS on identifying with the EFCC in the fight against corruption through its social media engagements and other programmes and expressed delight with volunteers in the group, urging them to mobilise more youths and patriotic Nigerians in driving the anti-corruption campaign.
“You know it is one thing to investigate, prosecute and it is another thing to prevent. We should all be involved in the task of fighting corruption”, he said. Bawa further charged the group to include campaigns against cybercrimes in its engagements.
CYMS’s Director-General, Comrade Obinna Nwaka, applauded “the tremendous work” Bawa “has been doing since resumption as the EFCC chair” and assured him of the undying support of Nigerian youths.
