The Public Complaints Commission, PCC, and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, have restated their resolve to further strengthen the existing cooperation and partnership between them.
This indication was the high point of discussion on Thursday, November 11, 2021 when the Commissioner, PCC, Lagos Office, Hafeez Odunewu, paid a courtesy visit to the Office of the Lagos Zonal Commander of EFCC, Ahmed Ghali.
Odunewu, who was accompanied by his Director of Investigations and other members of staff, said: “The PCC seeks to curb administrative injustice within the society.
“In view of this, we believe we can work together to curb the excesses of the so-called bad eggs within the society.”
He added that PCC, being an alternative dispute resolution centre, could not make arrests but receive complaints, mediate and investigate offenders within the state, local governments and public companies.
According to him, “ We are here today to seek areas of collaboration with the Commission in order to ensure that our society is conducive and acceptable for the citizens to live in.”
In his remarks, Ghali expressed his gratitude over the visit.
According to him, “the Commission is ready to collaborate with the PCC; and inasmuch as these complaints fall within the purview of the EFCC’s mandate, we will team up with you and ensure that justice is served.”
