EFCC CHAIR SAYS NIGERIA CAN BE FREE OF CORRUPTION
EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, expressed confidence that Nigerians can overcome corruption through unity and commitment.
He made this remark in Abuja on Sunday in his Eid-el-Fitr goodwill message to Muslims nationwide.
“Tackling economic and financial crimes and other acts of corruption is achievable through courageous readiness and corporate commitments of Nigerians,” he stated.
Reaffirming the nation’s ability to overcome corruption, Olukoyede stated: “Nigerians are stronger than corruption. No corrupt act can break our common resolve and determination. We have all it takes to confront and conquer economic and financial crimes.”
He urged Muslims to internalise the lessons of Ramadan—self-denial, discipline, sacrifice, love, and purity—and channel them into a renewed commitment to shun corrupt practices.
“I congratulate Muslims and charge them to allow lessons of self-denial, discipline, sacrifice, love and purity of the Ramadan season imbued in them greater readiness and commitment to shun corrupt practices.
“At Eid-el-Fitr, Allah’s benevolence and sacrifice are greatly magnified. May the lessons of love, peace, joy, and celebration of the festival abide in us and imbue in us a greater desire to reject corruption,” he added.
Olukoyede also assured Nigerians that the anti-corruption war remains on course, stating that the EFCC is gaining momentum in its efforts to curb economic and financial crimes.
“The anti-corruption war is on course, maintaining that the EFCC is gaining more strength and speed in bringing economic and financial crimes to a halt, “ he said.
