NOA collaborates with EFCC to tackle virtual asset and investment fraud nationwide.
The National Orientation Agency (NOA) is collaborating with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to launch a sensitization campaign to educate Nigerians about cybercrime dangers and promote financial integrity, in a bid to tackle virtual asset and investment fraud nationwide.
Speaking at a public lecture organised by the EFCC to commemorate the African Union Anti-Corruption Day, the Director-General of NOA, Lanre Issa-Onilu, announced the Agency’s plan to roll out a comprehensive Digital Awareness Campaign across strategically selected states.
According to him, the campaign will focus on vulnerability indicators like investment fraud prevalence and youth population density.
He also unveiled plans for a youth-focused initiative to promote ethical entrepreneurship, financial responsibility, and informed decision-making.
The NOA boss noted that the agency's AI-Powered Platform, CLHEEAN, has enabled citizens to report crime-related information anonymously, supporting prompt action by security agencies.
In his remarks, EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, reaffirmed the Commission’s long-standing collaboration with the agency, especially in public enlightenment on government initiatives and anti-corruption efforts.
Olukoyede also urged Nigerians to support and cooperate with law enforcement agencies in the ongoing fight against financial crimes.
