EFCC Press Release
The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Lamorde, on Friday, May 8, 2015 charged fresh cadets
of the Commission to imbibe its core values, which include integrity, courage,
professionalism, leadership and partnership.
He
stated this during the passing out ceremony of the EFCC Detective Superintendent
Cadet Course 6 and Detective Intermediate Cadet Course 3 at the EFCC Academy,
Karu, Abuja.
According
to Lamorde, the 85 cadets who had just completed a six-month basic law
enforcement training, received the “best possible initiation into the community
of law enforcement.”
He said the cadets, in the course of their training,
received lectures from regulatory institutions such as the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN,
the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation, NDIC, and the Pension Commission.
“From
the intelligence and law enforcement community, agencies like the
Department of State Services, DSS, National Intelligence Agency, NIA, the
Nigeria Customs Service and a host of others were on hand to share priceless
field experiences and other forms of training with them”, he added.
Lamorde,
who reiterated the resolve of the
Commission to continue to champion the cause of engendering a society free of
all forms of economic and financial crimes, added that the EFCC Academy
would stop at nothing in the pursuit of all-round professionalism, even where
the required facility or faculty is not immediately available.
He
said the quest for professionalism necessitated the arrangement with the
Department of State Services to organise the firearms training and range classification
exercise for the cadets at its Service Development Centre in Kaduna.
He,
however, told the cadets that working in the EFCC “ is not a bed of roses”,
adding that it comes with some challenges.
Earlier
in his address, the Commandant, EFCC
Academy, Mr. Ayo
Olowonihi, urged the cadets not to think that their training had ended because
the journey as law enforcement agents had just begun.
He,
however, re-assured them of their safety, in spite of the hazardous nature of
their job.
“We
started with 85 of them and to God be the glory, all of them are passing out
today. I say this because I know what we have put them through in and out of
this premises (EFCC
Academy). I am happy to
say that they all excelled in the exercises they partook in,” he stated.
Also
speaking, the Secretary to the Commission, Barrister Emmanuel Adegboyega Aremo,
charged the young officers to make the EFCC core values their guiding light in
their carrers with the Commission.
