EFCC CHARGES STUDENTS TO BE CHAMPIONS OF INTEGRITY

The Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede, has charged Nigerian students to be promoters of a culture of integrity by being role models that the country will be proud of. He made this call at the ultimate goal of promoting financial integrity and preventing financial crimes. The EFCC boss emphasized the importance of education and awareness creation in informing students about the consequences of financial crimes and the benefits of financial integrity.
Olukoyede highlighted the critical role students can play in promoting financial integrity by adopting best practices, reporting suspicious activities, and supporting anti-corruption initiatives. He noted that students can serve as role models in their communities, influencing their peers and family members to uphold financial integrity.
The EFCC chairman called for collaborative efforts between the EFCC and all stakeholders in the anti-corruption fight, including students. He emphasized that implementing proactive measures such as fraud risk assessment and online safety education can help prevent financial crimes. By empowering students with knowledge and skills, they can become agents of financial integrity and contribute to a corruption-free society.
Olukoyede highlighted the EFCC's initiatives to prevent corruption, including youth, school, and NYSC programs, as well as faith-based programs for Christians and Islamic faiths. The Commission has also developed a fraud risk assessment framework for Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) to prevent fraud occurrences.
The Acting Vice-Chancellor of the University of Abuja, Professor Patricia Manko Lar, appreciated the efforts of all stakeholders and urged them to continue contributing positively to the development of Nigeria. The EFCC's efforts to promote financial integrity and prevent financial crimes are commendable, and the role of students in this endeavor cannot be overstated. By working together, we can build a corruption-free society and promote financial integrity in Nigeria.
