The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has commenced a four-week Basic Investigation and Enforcement Training for 102 newly recruited officers of the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB).
The Executive Chairman of the EFCC, Ola Olukoyede, speaking at the opening ceremony on Monday, August 10, 2026, at the EFCC Academy, Karu, Abuja, said the programme marked a significant milestone in the history of the two institutions.
“The programme marks a significant milestone in the history of the two institutions. This is the first time the EFCC is hosting and training newly recruited staff of the Code of Conduct Bureau.”
The training is aimed at strengthening the investigative capacity, professionalism, discipline, and ethical conduct of the newly recruited officers.
Olukoyede, who was represented by the Acting Commandant of the EFCC Academy, Assistant Commander of the EFCC (ACE I) Joseph Ogwiji, emphasised that the partnership “represents more than a training arrangement; it is a new chapter in institutional collaboration and capacity development.”
Chairman of the Code of Conduct Bureau, Dr. Abdullahi Usman Bello, in his address, said: “The partnership between our two institutions remains essential to the Nigerian Government’s efforts to promote integrity and ethical conduct in public service.”
Bello charged the trainees to approach the training with all the seriousness it deserves, noting that it was designed to prepare them to carry out the constitutional mandate of the Bureau, which is to promote transparency, prevent conflicts of interest, and help build a public service that Nigerians can trust.
The trainees were also urged to uphold integrity, discipline, professionalism, confidentiality, and strict adherence to the law in the discharge of their responsibilities.
