The Nigeria Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and India’s Enforcement Directorate (ED) have reached an agreement to collaborate in the battle against corruption in both countries. The spokesperson of EFCC, Wilson Uwajuren, while disclosing this in a statement on Wednesday, said Abdulrasheed Bawa, EFCC chairman, and Sanjay Kumar Mishra, ED’s director, announced the decision at a meeting in India on Wednesday on the sidelines of the 90th Interpol general assembly in New Delhi, India.
The two agencies will partner in matters of mutual interest particularly money laundering and other economic and financial crimes, the statement said.
Uwujaren added that they also agreed to share experiences and cooperate in matters of mutual interest and concern.
In 2019, Abhay Thakur, India’s high commissioner to Nigeria at the time, had pledged his country’s commitment to Nigeria.
