“We are proud of the nurturing we received from the Police and solicit more support, cooperation and collaboration given the specialized nature of our works”, he said.
Responding, Egbetokun said, “I warmly welcome you and congratulate you on your appointment. You are doing well and Mr. President has a lot of confidence in you.”
The IGP expressed delight with the works of the EFCC , describing the Commission “ as a good child of the Police” and promised enhanced support for the Commission. “We are proud to have the EFCC as our child. We will continue to support you,” he said.
He commended the EFCC chairman on his sterling efforts in fighting economic and financial crimes and other acts of corruption since he assumed office, pointing out that he is doing well on his job, reiterating his avowed determination to support him and EFCC in any way needed./PLEASE SHARE
