The EFCC Chairman stated that he was at the Defence Head Quarters to explore avenues of cooperation in the ongoing fight against corruption in the country.
Mr Olukoyede warned that if drastic measures were not taken to nip it in the bud, the country would be put into a jeopardy in the next 10 years.
