EFCC pays courtesy visit, seeks better co-operation in fighting corruption.
What They Say
the truth must prevail...
"...the 9th of December, has been designated by the United Nations as 'International Anti-Corruption Day' to raise awareness and draw global attention to the incedence of corruption.
The theme of this year's celebration - "ACT Against Corruption today" is quite apt as it enjoins us to go beyond the talk and now walk the talk. It calls on governments, anti-corruption agencies, civil society organisations, community and religious leaders and the entire citizenry to take concerted actions against corruption".
by: Mr. Mohammed Bello Adoke., SAN, CFR Honorable Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice.
