The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has expressed concern about a parenting trend bordering on education.
Speaking at a two-day Workshop on Investigation and Enforcement Skills for Effective Regulatory Role for senior personnel of the National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, the Commandant, EFCC Academy, Ayo Olowonihi said, parents now prioritised fraudulent internet education over normal school.
“The problem we are dealing with is so huge that we now have parents who take their kids out of formal school and enroll them into internet fraud training centers popularly known as Yahoo-Yahoo school. … The IT Skills that these young men and women have, they just use it negatively so we have got to do a lot of enlightenment and value re-orientation,” Olowonihi stated.
In his own remark, the Director General, NBC, Balarabe Shehu Ilelah, thanked EFCC chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa, for the anti-graft agency’s support to the broadcasting regulatory body.
The participants were trained in various aspects of Investigation, Cyber Crime Laws, Public Relations and Fake News Detection, Emotional Intelligence, Alternative Dispute Resolution, NBC Act and case Studies.
