EFCC will sustain partnership with UNODC, says acting chair

The acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Abdulkarim Chukkol, has promised that the anti-graft agency will sustain its partnership with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.

According to a statement on Monday by the commission spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, Chukkol also said the EFCC was committed to working with critical stakeholders in the actualisation of UNODC’s mandate in Nigeria.

The statement said Chukkol stated this during a meeting with the UNODC Country Representative, Mr. Oliver Stolpe, at the EFCC corporate headquarters in Abuja.

“Chukkol appreciated the UNODC for its long-standing collaboration and enduring partnership in the anti-corruption space, and assured it of the commission’s unwavering commitment to working with critical stakeholders in the actualisation of its mandate.”

Speaking, Stolpe said he was at the EFCC office to felicitate the new leadership of the agency.

He reminded the EFCC boss that Nigeria should demonstrate leadership at the upcoming CoSP by presenting an overview of the implementation of the UN Convention against Corruption.
