Director General of the NDE, Mallam Abubakar Mohammed, in his welcome address said the workshop was to acquaint his staff with the activities of the EFCC and how to carry out their activities without falling foul of the law.
Represented by Kunle Obanyan, a director at the directorate, Mohammed said the collaboration “will bring home to officers of the direcctcorate, the intricate workings of the EFCC…officers will be better equipped to play a more supportive and proactive role in the fight against corruption.”
According to him, “in 2002, the NDE by the mandate of the Federal Government, through the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences (ICPC) established at its headquarters, the Anti-Corruption and Transparency Unit, otherwise known as ACTU-NDE.”
He added that 10 months later, all NDE formation in the 36 states of the federation and Abuja set up local ACTUs, due to the fact that “NDE programmes are mainly implemented in the states.”
On his part the EFCC Chairman Abubakar Lamorde, represented by the commission’s Director of Public Affairs Osita Nwaja, commended NDE leadership for partnering with the EFCC to fight the “monster called corruption.”  
“The cankerworm of corruption feeds fat on poverty, ignorance, unemployment, ignorance, unemployment, and fear of the unknown. These are subordinate monsters that the NDE is uniquely placed and empowered to deal with. That is why EFCC considers you a key partner in the war against corruption.”
