The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) believes that corruption in Nigeria can be defeated if all stakeholders in the fight against graft work together.

In his Eid-El-Kabir message, EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede emphasized the need for renewed efforts to combat economic and financial crimes, stating that collective action is essential to eradicate this menace.

“It is obvious that we can attain peace, love, progress and unity of purpose for a Nigeria free of corruption and unsavoury practices.

“Let’s keep building. Let’s keep attacking every threat to our progress. Let’s keep fighting economic and financial crimes together,” he said.

Olukoyede noted that corruption is not inherent to Nigerians and that there is nothing fundamentally flawed about the nation.

In his Eid-El-Kabir message, the anti-corruption chief extended his greetings to the nation and highlighted that the festival’s teachings should inspire greater dedication to combating corruption.

“The lessons of forbearance, sacrifice, faith and hope in Almighty Allah which Eid teaches should imbue in us fresh desire to please God and serve our nation without corrupt practices.

“We should renew our efforts towards fighting all forms of economic and financial crimes,” he said.
