The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, says its
academy in Karu, Abuja will soon be certified as the first
anti-corruption degree-awarding institution in Nigeria.
The commission’s spokesman, Tony Orilade made this known in a
statement in Abuja on Monday.
Mr Orilade quoted the secretary to the commission, Olanipekun
Olukoyede, as saying that the acting chairman, Ibrahim Magu, had
inaugurated a committee to fast-track the process for the
certification.
Mr Olukoyede said the academy would soon begin to run
certificate, diploma and degree courses in Anti-corruption
Investigation Studies.
He added that the training on cyber-crime investigation was
designed to help increase the capacity of the investigators.
David Tukura, commandant of the academy said that it had the
capacity to conduct all necessary anti-corruption trainings aimed
at meeting the human capacity needs of the commission.
“Training facility is not just about the space or land mass
occupied, but the quality of available trainers available,” he
said.
Mr Tukura assured that the commission remained committed to
ensuring that the Nigerian economic system was insulated against
the criminal tendencies of cybercriminals.
“That is why we catch and get the criminals punished,” he
said.
