The Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ola Olukoyede, has charged the corps members across the country to take a deliberate stand against corruption and build on economic values in the interest of their future and the entire nation.

Olukayode according to the statement on EFCC X (formally Twitter) handle on Friday, gave the task in Abuja while addressing Batch B, Stream One corps members at the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, Orientation Camp in Kubwa on Thursday.

Olukayode who was represented by the Deputy Superintendent of EFCC, DSE, Abbas Umar stated that the scourge of internet fraud has become a pervasive trouble in which Nigerian youths are getting embroiled, at the detriment of their future and Nigeria’s image.

He said, “Youths are getting embroiled in all sorts of cybercrime to the detriment of their future and the image of our nation.  This is one undesirable situation that calls for concern.  For our economy to grow and compete favourably with strides being made in other advanced economies, the scourge of corruption must be frontally tackled.”

“I want to charge the youths to see corruption as an enemy to be destroyed and have a new insight into the disservice that corruption represents by willingly becoming change agents, active foot soldiers against corruption, community advocates and strong resisting forces against corruption as well as whistle-blowers or intelligence-gatherers.”
