The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has called on the management and students of Greenfield University to show more commitment to the fight against economic and financial crimes.

This call was made in Kaduna on Wednesday, July 6, 2022, by the Kaduna Zonal Commander of the EFCC, Assistant Commander of the EFCC, ACE Harry Erin when a delegation of the management of the University paid a visit to the Command.

Receiving members of the delegation, Erin, stressed that the EFCC was committed to its preventive mandate as an effective mechanism of tackling cybercrime and enjoined the University to be involved in driving awareness against the menace among its students.

“It is imperative for the University to play a greater role in curbing corruption, by inaugurating a Zero Tolerance Club and encourage students to drive the activities of the club. This will pave ways for an all- inclusive collaboration with the youths who are veritable stakeholders in the fight against internet fraud”, he said.

Responding, Pro Chancellor and Chairman of Council of the University, Chief Simon Nwakacha expressed delight and readiness of the institution to collaborate with the EFCC, to check youths’ keen interest in cybercrime.

He added that, as part of the methods to curb the menace of internet fraud, the University has strengthened its Criminology and Cyber Security Department, as well as making plans to organise a workshop, where students and officials of the EFCC could interact and exchange ideas on the menace of financial crimes and how to combat it.
