The Nigeria Correctional Service Borstal Training Institution, Kaduna, has sought collaboration and partnership with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in the fight against corruption and economic and financial crimes.
The quest was made in Kaduna by the new principal of the institution and controller of corrections, Tukura Yakubu Yamma, when he led other officers of the institution on a familiarisation visit to the Kaduna Zonal Directorate of the EFCC.
Yamma noted that partnership and collaboration between the EFCC and the institution were indispensable, as the battle to ensure the security of the country and the enthronement of integrity, transparency and accountability in the society cannot be left to one agency alone.
“The security and well-being of this nation cannot be handled by one agency alone. We all need to put our heads together to secure this nation by helping, especially the youths, realising their importance in joining the fight,” he said.
The Acting Director, Kaduna Zonal Directorate of the EFCC, Bawa Kaltungo, expressed delight with the visit and commended the officers of the institution for their drive for partnership with the Commission, noting that collaboration and partnership between the EFCC and the institution will be beneficial to society and the two agencies of the government.
He stated that “No agency is too special to take on the war against corruption and economic and financial crimes alone. The Commission is ready to cooperate and collaborate. Our doors are always open. We are ready to help and offer consultation,” he said
He praised the institution for its hard work and dedication in rehabilitating errant young people.
