This is contained in a statement by NSCDC Director, Public Relations, Commandant Olusola Odumosu on Friday in Abuja.
Odumosu said that the strengthened partnership was established when NSCDC anti-fraud unit, headed by Deputy Commandant of Corps,  Victory Emeribe paid a courtesy visit to the EFCC headquarters, Abuja.
Emeribe said that the visit aimed at discussing further on the upcoming orientation and induction of NSCDC anti-fraud unit personnel from all commands of the corps, nationwide.
She said that the EFCC played a major role in the professional establishment of the unit, hence the need to seek new grounds for effective synergy.
“This visit will help to expand the frontiers of effective service delivery through efficient collaboration, joint training and manpower development,” she said.
She said that the unit served as a  watchdog to checkmate any act that could lead to financial embarrassment by personnel.
“ Sanitize the corps of all fraud-related activities and assist members of the public in resolving cases of fraud brought to its attention through the EFCC,” Emeribe said.
Anti-fraud unit Head said that NSCDC Commandant General, Dr Ahmed Audi, had zero tolerance for corruption, fraud, financial crimes and other financial related misconducts.
She said that the discipline by the CG led to the successful investigation and prosecution of some personnel on cases bothering on job racketeering, fraud among other crimes executed within and outside the Corps.
EFCC Head of Advance Fee Fraud Section, Mrs Aishatu Idris, assured the delegation of the commission’s continuous support to the Corps in training, investigation and prosecution of financial crimes.
“We promise to bridge any identified gap for an improved relationship,” she said.
Idris said that the relationship was imperative and timely as the commission had received several petitions bothering on job racketeering by some bad persons in the corps from the public.
She urged the corps to constantly embark on public enlightenment campaigns to remind the general public that there was no job for money in the NSCDC, urging them to follow strictly employment procedures.
She advised the corps to as a way of a deterrent to others, publish the names of anyone tried, convicted or dismissed for employment racketeering.
She further assured the corps of the Commission’s readiness to support and assist the corps were necessary in the pursuit of its mandates.
