NANS under our watch as one of the TETFUND project monitoring stakeholders is indeed ready to partner with the commission to fight internet fraud even from it’s grass root level.” NANS will be willing to serve as whistleblower for the EFCC to ensure that fairness, equity and social justice is achieved by the commission.
