LACC Participates in Regional Training on Intelligence Sharing Among Anti-Corruption Agencies
Today marks the end of a week-long regional training organized by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), NACIWA, and the ECOWAS Commission, bringing together Anti-Corruption and Law Enforcement Agencies from across West Africa. The training, held at the scenic Zuma Rock Resort in Niger State, Nigeria, focused on enhancing collaboration and intelligence sharing among institutions in the subregion. The Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC) was proudly represented by its Chief Investigator, Mr. Abraham B. Sheriff, who actively participated in the five-day sessions. Throughout the training, participants discussed emerging trends in crime—particularly financial crimes—which have become more sophisticated and transnational in nature. The ECOWAS Commission emphasized the need for collective action and stronger regional ties to effectively address these challenges. The LACC, through Mr. Sheriff, highlighted the critical need for collaboration, technical support, and capacity building to enhance the effectiveness of Anti-Graft institutions. A key outcome of the training is the establishment of a regional database for information and intelligence sharing, which the LACC will Co-Chair, further solidifying Liberia’s leadership role in regional anti-corruption efforts. Participants extended their appreciation to ECOWAS, NACIWA, and the EFCC for organizing and hosting the impactful training, which is expected to lead to stronger partnerships and improved strategies in the collective fight against corruption and financial crimes in West Africa.
