The Chairman, House Committee on Interior, Hon. Jagaba
Adams Jagaba, has indicated the readiness of the Committee to partner with the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, in its investigative hearing on
all agreements between the Federal Ministry of Interior and any company or
individual.
According to him,
the partnership would cover any matter relating to the issuance of travel
documents, residence permit and border surveillance, among others.
Speaking during a courtesy visit to the acting Chairman
of EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, in Abuja, on Thursday March 3, 2016, Jagaba also expressed
President Buhari’s confidence in Magu’s
ability to rid the country of corruption.
"You are
able, capable and willing to join hands with him (Buhari) in the audacious task
of ridding Nigeria of the monstrous scourge of corruption.
Jagaba, who encouraged Magu to be relentless in the
fight against corruption, further said, "in the course of prosecuting this
war, you will be hated by many and called unprintable names. However, you
should not be dismayed because where there is a will there is a way.
‘‘I want to urge you to continue to strive harder in order
to attain higher grounds such that every segment of this nation will be keyed
into the mantra of the government of President Muhammadu Buhari’s war against
corruption.
"When the history of the fight against corruption
is written, your name will be written in gold as the man who fought, sparing
neither friends nor foes."
Responding, the anti-graft Czar, Magu, thanked the
Committee for the words of encouragement and support, adding that "We need
more support and are willing to key into this and participate in this fight."
