The Katsina and Ekiti state governments have gifted the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) some property in their respective states to set up its offices.
The chairman of the anti-graft agency, Ola Olukoyede, disclosed this at Banquet Hall, Presidential Villa, Abuja, in the ongoing National Cybercrimes Summit.
Daily Trust reports that the summit was organised with the support of the European Union-funded Rule of Law and Anti-Corruption (RoLAC II) Programme of the International IDEA.
While welcoming the dignitaries to the summit, Olukoyede said the anti-graft agency had realised that tackling cybercrime in the country could not be left alone for the agency.
He said the agency under his leadership in the last one year had liaised with the state governments, traditional rulers, religious institutions, youth groups, civil society organisations, among others in order to reduce the menace to the barest minimum.
“I want to appreciate everyone here present for this large turnout at this summit. Let me use this medium to appreciate the governor of Katsina State, Umaru Dikko Radda. He has given us a property in his state to set up an office.
“But like you all know, I’m from Ekiti, so, I told the governor that I want an office in my State and he graciously gave us a property to use as an office. We thank them,” Olukoyede told the gathering.
Those in attendance include wife of the President, Oluremi Tinubu; Gombe State Governor, Inuwa Yahaya; Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal; Sultan of Sokoto, Alh. Sa’ad Abubakar, among other dignitaries.
