Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is Nigeria’s government agency responsible for investigating and prosecuting crimes related to economic and financial misconduct, such as corruption, money laundering, fraud, and embezzlement. Its goal is to promote transparency, accountability, and good governance by detecting illegal financial activities and ensuring that offenders are brought to justice. The EFCC works with other law enforcement agencies, financial institutions, and international partners to combat economic crimes that undermine the nation’s development and stability.
