The EFCC’s Executive Chairman, who spoke through his Chief of Staff, Commander of the EFCC, CE Michael Nzekwe noted that Nigerian banks over the years have become notorious as conduits of financial crimes and advised that they should turn a new leaf for the sake of the growth of the country. “There's hardly any financial crime that would not go through the financial institutions. Money laundering is a major issue and you find out also that the perpetrators go through the banks. Nigeria will be the greatest beneficiary when we do the right thing,” he said.
Addressing the Moniepoint delegation , he said, “Try as much as possible on your own to avoid any form of connivance and don't be a channel for money laundering. Don’t be a tool, don't make your system porous. You are a major stakeholder when it comes to the fight against corruption. We are open and would assist, however we can. No one is above the law"
