This video is at a recent TEDx event in Berlin where Nuhu Ribadu talks about Corruption in Nigeria. He shares his experience as the Chairman of EFCC and three notable cases while in office. The cases include Emmanuel Nwude who singlehandedly defrauded a Brazilian bank of $254million which led to the collapse of the bank, the Halliburton case and the James Ibori case.
Nuhu Ribadu is founding chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the organization that changed the narrative of the fight against corruption and financial crimes in Nigeria.
The results of his work at the EFCC, most notable amongst which are the delisting of Nigeria from the FATF’s List of Non-Cooperative Countries & Territories, admission into the prestigious Egmont Group and the withdrawal of the US Treasury advisory on Nigeria by the FINCEN, were critical to the perception of Nigeria, globally. He had also attracted donor supports from European Union (EU), UNODC, UNDP, World Bank, and a host of others running into millions of US dollars, and also built an effective collaborative effort with the FBI, SOCA [UK], Metropolitan Police, Dutch Police, German Police, South African Police and a host of other law enforcement agencies in the world.
The video is informative.
