“Trends in economic and financial crimes keep evolving and the EFCC must continue to put up a fierce battle against them by prevention through sensitization and enforcement to serve as deterrence.

“I restate the commitment of the EFCC to Mr. President’s resolve to rid the entire country of all forms of corruption and economic and financial crimes.”
