Imo State Supports EFCC in Money Laundering Fight
Chief Cosmas Iwu, the Secretary to the Government of Imo State, representing Governor Hope Uzodimma, pledged the state's commitment to assist the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in its fight against money laundering. This pledge was made during a recent visit by a team of EFCC officials, led by Mrs. Korede Abdul-Aziz, for the 2026 Non-Profit Risk Assessment Field Exercise against money laundering at the Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu International Convention Centre in Owerri.
Iwu acknowledged the global nature of financial crimes and commended the EFCC for its ongoing efforts to combat such issues in Nigeria. He reiterated the Imo State Government's dedication to supporting federal agencies in their mandates and highlighted the importance of transparency and accountability in governance.
Iwu also noted that since Governor Uzodimma took office in 2020, the state has made significant strides in fighting corruption, particularly by addressing payroll fraud that previously cost the state over five hundred million naira monthly.
