He expresses gratitude for the current training opportunity from the Korean government to EFCC officials and prayed for more of such opportunities.
“We appreciate your visit and we want to be introduced to more opportunities to enable the Commission continue to be in the lead of the fight against corruption, even if it means acquiring sophisticated and updated equipment that will aid our anti-graft fight, we will be glad to receive it,” Magu said.More photos below.
