EFCC Commits to Cooperation with Corporate Affairs Commission

In a seperate event earlier in the month, the EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede called on the Corporate Affairs Commission, CAC, to always make speedy responses to enquiries made by the Commission and other Nigerians on issues referred to it.

A statement signed by the EFCC Head, Media & Publicity, Dele Oyewale disclosed that the Chairman made the call in Abuja, while receiving the CAC management team, led by Registrar-General,  Hussani Ishaq Magaji.

The EFCC Chairman  noted that both the EFCC and CAC are handling sensitive and crucial assignments for Nigerians, a fact that should make responses to public enquiries quicker and better. “We are grateful for the access that you have provided for us to some of your information and resources, but we want to crave your indulgence to ensure speedy response to our requests and better synergy because of the nature of the work we do. Corruption in Nigeria has become a cankerworm militating against our development. Anything that has to do with investigation and prosecution and other activities that will reduce corruption,  must  be taken as a priority by every Nigerian”,  he said.

 The EFCC’s boss also assured the CAC team of the Commission’s cooperation, stressing that it might be necessary to raise a small-member joint task force between the two Commissions to improve on synergy and access to information in order to boost investigations.

“We want to assure you of our collaboration at every point in time and because of the nature of the work we do, we need to collaborate even more. We want to crave your indulgence to expand the scope of the access you have provided for us. A few of your people can join our own people and let’s form a team to make this work easier for us, just a small joint task force”, he said.

 Earlier in his speech, Magaji described the EFCC and CAC as partners, but called for stronger collaboration between the two Commissions. 

“As a result of the importance of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, CAC under my leadership has dedicated a unit to respond to the daily requests of the EFCC. Even though we have witnessed migration from the manual to automation,   in doing that we provided some access for the EFCC to enable the Commission  achieve its mandate”, he said.
