Welcome to the EFCC Recruitment 2024/2025 Application Form Portal, where you can embark on a journey to join the esteemed Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). If you aspire to contribute to the fight against financial crimes in Nigeria, here's what you need to know to navigate the application process effectively.
Introduction to EFCC
Established by an Act of the National Assembly on December 12, 2002, under President Olusegun Obasanjo's administration, the EFCC has been pivotal in combating financial crimes since its inception. Operational activities commenced on April 13, 2003, with Mallam Nuhu Ribadu as the pioneering Executive Chairman, supported by dedicated administrative officers.
The EFCC's formation was driven in part by global pressure, notably from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), urging regulatory bodies to address issues such as money laundering effectively.
Mandate and Responsibilities
The EFCC is mandated with several critical tasks:
- Investigation of Financial Crimes: This includes fraud, money laundering, counterfeiting, and other financial wrongdoings.
- Enforcement of Economic and Financial Laws: Ensuring adherence to laws related to economic and financial crimes.
- Counterterrorism Financing: Identification, tracing, and seizure of funds or assets used to support terrorist activities.
- Prevention of Financial Crimes: Developing strategies to preempt economic and financial crimes.
- International Collaboration: Partnering with agencies within Nigeria and abroad to combat cross-border financial crimes.
- Public Awareness: Educating the public about the dangers of economic and financial crimes.
