      DEDICATION

      T his handbook is dedicated to posterity to show evidence of the efforts made by this generation to break out of the web of corruption that has impoverished the majority of Nigerians, a negative legacy bequeathed to us by historical events that have made national growth and sustained development elusive. It beckons on the exertion of more efforts and determination to liberate the country from the self-imposed bu rden.

      ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

      I  wish to thank God for the privilege in assigning me and my colleagues to articulate appropriate mode in disseminating relevant information on corruption in the system and effective remedies in curtailing it. It is an independent perspective drawn from long-standing experience in the system.

      Commendation to my erstwhile colleagues in the Audit Unit of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC), Mr. Ahmed Pate, Mr. Abraham Anjorin, Mr. Halilu Dauda and Mr. Daniel Ogunkeye, who contributed immensely in accomplishing this project which we all started together.

      I also wish to express my gratitude to erstwhile colleague and friend in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Ahmed Ekpolomo for his encouragement and support which made the maiden publication possible.

      Special appreciation goes to Ambassador Dr. Chijioke Wilcox Wigwe who edited the draft copy.

      FOREWORD

      T here is need for sensitization and awareness that will jolt every citizen to cooperate with the anti-corruption agencies in the fight against economic and financial crimes in the public sector. The anti-corruption agencies alone cannot win the fight.

      This reference book is intended to aid the anti-corruption agencies in combating economic and financial crimes in public institutions, as well as providing understanding in respect of the critical role of the Internal Audit as the primary source of intelligence gathering of corrupt practices in public institutions. The compilation of incontrovertible evidences for subsequent investigations and successful prosecution should form the bulwark of the work of the Internal Auditors.

      Strategic Internal Auditing, anchored on a robust anti-corruption stance is the panacea to check and control corruption.

      Agencies must strive to build seamless cooperation to improve capacity and reach. With adequate funding they could migrate to IT-based operations for quicker response in the detection of corrupt practices.

      The reference book which is very handy and written in dynamic flex is to be updated with new developments
