David Mark and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rep. Dimeji Bankole.

Speaking on the two-day conference in which the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) would be a major participant, he told Vanguard yesterday in Abuja that this week’s conference was a precursor of a larger one planned for the United States of America later this month.
