Mailafia thanked the Commandant for the visit, saying the Corps had a history of cordial relationship with the Commission especially in terms of assisting in fishing out criminals engaging in illegal oil bunkering and other economic crimes in the country.
“EFCC doors are always open and partnering with the sister agency is paramount for the Commission to achieve its goals.
“We can achieve more if we collaborate in the fight against corruption,” he said.
The Spokesman said the commandant of NSCDC was in the EFCC to partner and to solicit for a closer relationship in order to secure national assets and for intelligence gathering.
The NSCDC boss further appealed to the Commission to assist in training its personnel on corruption-related courses as it would further assist in combating the corruption menace with ease.
