Kwara State Partners EFCC to Tackle Internet Fraud and Financial Crimes in the Region

Date: 2025-05-13

The Kwara State Government has proposed a partnership with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to strengthen efforts against internet fraud and financial crimes.

The collaboration initiative was discussed on Wednesday, 7 May 2025, during a working visit by Hajia Mariam Nnafatima Imam, Commissioner for Social Development, to the EFCC's Ilorin Zonal Office, led by Director Mr. Daniel Isei.

Speaking at the meeting, Commissioner Imam praised the EFCC for its role in combating corruption and economic crimes in the public and private sectors. The partnership aims to formalise frameworks to address the rising tide of financial crimes, including internet fraud.

"The EFCC has continued to make commendable progress in restoring integrity in our institutions and society at large. Your efforts have brought renewed hope and a sense of justice to our people. The state government is keenly interested in working closely with your Commission to address the root causes of these crimes. Together, we can change the narrative for our youth," she said.

While expressing delight at the visit, Isei welcomed the interest and willingness of the state government to partner with the Commission in addressing financial crimes in the state. He noted that the EFCC remained committed to not just enforcement but also prevention through public engagement and education.

"We believe enforcement must go hand-in-hand with advocacy. Cybercrime is not just a legal issue, it is a social one. That is why partnership with agencies like the Ministry of Social Development is critical. We welcome this collaboration and look forward to creating joint initiatives that target risk communities and empower young people with the right values and opportunities," he stated.
