The Managing Director, News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, Bayo Onanuga, has expressed the readiness of the agency to further support the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, in its fight against corruption.
Speaking during a courtesy visit on
the acting chairman of EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, on Tuesday, June 14, 2016, Onanuga
stated that the agency would do much more than it had done in the past years to
proclaim the Commission’s activities.
According to him, ‘‘The News Agency
of Nigeria will continue to disseminate information about the activities of the
EFCC.’’
Responding, Magu, who expressed his appreciation for the visit, stated that the media was crucial to creating awareness on the evil of corruption.
He said: “The work we do cannot be
done alone; everyone is a stakeholder, irrespective of age. We cannot claim to
have monopoly of knowledge and that is why we try to get relationships with all
stakeholders. Without the media, the fight against corruption cannot be won.’’
Magu further added that he
welcomed criticism that could enable the Commission achieve its statutory
objectives.
