The Nigeria Correctional Service Borstal Training Institution in Kaduna State has sought collaboration and partnership with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to fight against corruption, economic and financial crimes.

The EFCC, in a statement on Wednesday said the new principal of the institution and Controller of Corrections, Tukura Yakubu Yamma, made this request when he led other officers of the institution on a familiarization visit to the Kaduna Zonal Directorate of the anti-graft commission.

Yamma noted that partnership and collaboration between the EFCC and the Institution was indispensable as the battle to ensure the security of the country and enthronement of integrity, transparency and accountability in the society cannot be left to one agency alone.

“The security and wellbeing 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 realise their importance in joining the fight,” he said.

In his response, 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.

Kaltungo also noted that collaboration and partnership between the EFCC and the institution will be beneficial to the society and the two agencies of the government.

“No agency is too special to take on the war against corruption, 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.

Speaking further, Kaltungo praised the institution for its hard work and dedication in rehabilitating errant young people.
