By Micheal Chukwuebuka

The Comptroller of Nigeria Immigration Service, Gombe State Command, Hassan Aliyu Mohammed has assured the Gombe Zonal Directorate of the Economic and financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, of enhanced collaboration in tackling the menace of economic and financial crimes and other acts of corruption.

He gave this assurance on Wednesday, April 15, 2026 while on a Courtesy Visit to the Gombe Acting Zonal Director of the EFCC, Assistant Commander of the EFCC, ACE1 Austine Adache in his office.

According to the Comptroller, “the Nigeria Immigration Service is charged with the responsibility of managing the Nigerian borders and works with sister agencies to gather and share intelligence on areas of importance. We want to complement your efforts in the fight against graft by assuring your organisation of our readiness to support you in intelligence and information sharing, and capacity development.”

Responding, Adache welcomed the Comptroller and his team on behalf of the Executive Chairman, Mr. Ola Olukoyede and intimated them of Nigeria’s recent achievement as a nation.

“One of our nation’s recent achievements, the delisting of Nigeria from the Grey List of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) in October 2025, was as a result of collaborative efforts amongst law enforcement and regulatory agencies.

He added that “synergy is vital to all organisations in achieving their mandates and we in EFCC hold our sister agencies in high regard.

We do hope that this synergy on intelligence and information sharing and capacity development would go a long way in the fight against corruption.
