In its bid to stamp out corruption in the country, the Chartered Institute of Forensics and Certified Fraud Investigators of Nigeria (CIFCFIN) has inducted 152 more members in Abuja.

The inductees, who comprise 95 direct members and 57 fellows, were charged to see themselves as change agents and makers, who are dully enlisted in the anti-corruption army to transform Nigeria into greatness.

CIFCFIN's President/ Chairman, Governing Council, Dr. Iliyasu B. Gashinbaki, in a speech delivered at the 12th direct membership and fellowship award ceremony, called on the federal government to initiate a comprehensive forensic performance audit of all donor-funded and development-partner-supported projects across the country to help stamp out the fraud prevalent in such projects.

He said the audit would be designed in such a way to independently verify the level of implementation; trace the flow as well as utilisation of funds, uncover instances of misappropriation or abandonment and ensure that responsible parties are held accountable.
