National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has called for closer collaboration with the Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), with a view to fighting financial crimes and other acts of corruption.

The newly redeployed Kaduna State Commander of the NDLEA, Samaila Danmallam, made the call during a familiarisation visit to the Kaduna Zonal Command of the EFCC. He said the visit was to explore ways through which the two agencies could assist each other in the pursuit of set objectives and mandates.

Danmallam said: “Collaboration with the EFCC is very relevant and important because, in the long run, the fight against corruption will help boost the entire image and development of our country. So, the EFCC should be supported in this great service meant to improve the lives of Nigerians.”

Kaduna Zonal Acting Commander of the EFCC, Aisha Abubakar, appreciated the visit and recalled the long-standing relationship between the two agencies.
She said: “The two have had reason to assist each other in the course of investigating cases that fall within the mandate of either, leading to the overall success recorded in such instances.”

Abubakar further assured the new state commander of the commission’s commitment towards rendering support to all stakeholders.
