The Commandant, EFCC Academy, Commander of EFCC Ayo Olowonihi on Thursday, July 27, 2023 commended the initiative by the Legal Defence and Assistance Project GTE/LTD (LEDAP), a Mac-Arthur Foundation sponsored Project, to provide an e-learning studio, equipment, funding and training for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

Olowonihi who spoke when the LEDAP representatives came on a courtesy visit to the EFCC Academy, Karu Abuja, assured that, “we must all put our hands on deck to ensure that this project succeeds. The training will run, the systems will be developed… we will partner with you to ensure that the project will never fail.”

The Project Officer, LEDAP Rihanat Moshood, speaking on behalf of the Executive Director, Chino Edmund Obiagu, said “the project is about the training of EFCC Staff, particularly the investigators and prosecutors on the innovations in the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015… We are to provide any technical support that is not already available to the Commission, with the funding from MacArthur Foundation”.

Solomon Joshua Magaji, IT Consultant, LEDAP disclosed that, “the plan is to develop an e-learning platform which will be used in the Academy by the students; the idea is to have one ecosystem that can handle things from content, tests and quizzes and academic solutions.”

The visit ended with a tour of facilities in the Academy to identify the ideal location for siting of the studio and content production center.

The Mac-Arthur Foundation is known for its support to the anti-corruption efforts in Nigeria.
