COLLABORATION WITH LOCAL AND
INTERNATIONAL BODIES
1.
The Bureau has established extensive collaboration with local
and international bodies to enhance the fight against corruption
by creating a wide and fully representative network. Over the
years, the media, education sector, civil society, and other
government agencies have joined the Bureau in the
anti-corruption crusade. Specifically NTA has supported the
Bureau by airing some of its programmes, Schools have assisted
during our Children’s Forum and other children’s programmes to
instill the anti-corruption consciousness in children. Bodies
like Exam Ethics and Transparency In Nigeria (TIN), Global
Rights among other NGOs have involved the Bureau in seminars and
workshop. A mutual relationship exist among the
anti-corruption agencies like Independent Corrupt Practices and
other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), the Economic &
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the State Security Services
(SSS), the Police and the Public Complaints Commission (PCC)
among others.
2.
Some State Governments in collaboration with the Bureau have
organized Workshops for their public officers especially those
at the Local Government levels. This include Kano, Ebonyi,
Kwara, Katsina, Niger, and Akwa Ibom States and we are deeply
grateful to them.
3.
Also, the Bureau has enjoyed good working relationship with
organizations like United States Agency for International
Development/Office for Transition Initiatives (USAID/OTI), which
sponsored our Public Forum in 2002. The Commonwealth Office and
United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) have also sponsored
some of our training programmes. We have also interacted with
the UN office for Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and played host to the
Ministry of Supervision in China. We undertook study tours to
the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) Hong Kong
as well as the Corrupt Practices Investigations Bureau (CPIB) of
Singapore. This is in realization of the fact that the global
fight against Corruption cannot be won from a lone turf.
