The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,
EFCC has advised staff of the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission,
ICRC to be vigilant and security conscious at all times in the wake of the
increase in the level of insecurity in the country.
The advice was given at a security awareness
lecture organised for the Commission and its staff by the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission.
The programme which took place on Wednesday,
August 20, 2014 at the ICRC Conference Room, Area 11, Abuja dwelt on the
security risks that organisations and their employees are daily exposed to and
measures to overcome such risks.
EFCC’s deputy director, public affairs, Osita
Nwajah said the programme was organised to offer security tips for corporate
and private individuals in a bid to raising the awareness of Nigerians on
security matters and also to curb the commission of economic and financial
crimes in the society.
Also speaking at the presentation is the Head,
Media and Publicity, EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, who disclosed that cyber-crime is a
new order of threat that corporate organizations and individuals often ignore
at their own peril.
According to Uwujaren, “your identity is very
important at the individual and corporate level. When you lose your identity,
you lose your integrity; when somebody steals your identity he compromises your
personal integrity”.
Head, Anti Bomb Squad, EFCC, Mr. Akinleye
Olateju, in his presentation on “Home Made Bomb” or “Improvised Explosive
Device, IED” advised participants to be security conscious and proactive in
reporting any strange movements or objects around them to security agents.
He said, “IED are not dropped from heaven or
dropped from anywhere, they are carried by human beings. Be familiar with the
environment, if you see any changes in your environment raise alarm because
that alarm can save lots of lives”.
In his remarks, Director General, ICRC, Aminu
Dikko, who was represented by Director, Contract Compliance Department, Mr. Mike
Ohiani appreciated the EFCC for partnering with his agency saying, “the
relationship will be nurtured to be of mutual benefit to both organizations”.
