Mr Usman, who led a team of top management staff to the Abuja headquarters of EFCC on Thursday, February 23, 2017, said “we are asking for more support in fighting corruption in Nigeria.”
The Jaiz Bank boss, who commended the anti-graft agency, listed amongst the bank services to include specialized banking, mortgage and priority services to customers.
