The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, says collaboration and understanding remain key to achieving sustainable success in tackling economic and financial crimes.
Chairman of the Commission, Ola Olukoyede, said this in a statement by the EFCC Spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, on Thursday in Abuja.
He spoke at the 2025 EFCC- Civil Society Organisation’s Capacity-Building Workshop in Abuja.
Represented by the Director of the Public Affairs Directorate of the Commission, Wilson Uwujaren, the EFCC boss placed strong values and significance on building collaboration and mutual understanding with all stakeholders.
“The media and civil society organisations, no doubt, are very critical to the work of fighting every form of economic and financial crimes and other acts of corruption.
“The nexus between the media and civil society organisations is very strong.
“They are like the right ear and left ear of the same horse; they have a shared mandate exposing shadiness and integrity deficit in individuals and groups across the country.
“This is why the commission considered it imperative to bring together these stakeholders in a capacity-building workshop,” he said.
Olukoyede said that the issues for discussion revolved around operational, legal and media.
He stated that understanding the key issues would enhance public appreciation of the EFCC’s work.
