The Port Harcourt Zonal Commander of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Assistant Commander of the EFCC, ACE Aliyu Naibi has emphasised the need for increased information sharing among law enforcement agencies in Nigeria, stressing that it remains the most critical strength in security services.

Naibi stated that, with adequate information sharing, the task of law enforcement would become easier and error- free. " We are all working for Nigeria.

He commended the founding fathers of the EFCC for inclusion of different law enforcement agencies, including the Immigration Service, on the board of the Commission. " The founding fathers of the EFCC knew what they were doing when they put the Immigration Service on the board of the EFCC", he said.

" Inter- agency relationship is vital. Our jobs meet and we need synergy to succeed in our works. Nigeria is all we have. We will always meet at some points", she said.
