The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede, has expressed confidence that Nigerians have the capacity to defeat corruption through collective determination and commitment.

 

In his goodwill message to Muslims celebrating Eid-el-Fitr across the country, Olukoyede, speaking in Abuja on Sunday, emphasized that tackling economic and financial crimes is achievable through national unity and resolve.

 

“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 stated.

 

He urged Muslims to internalize the lessons of Ramadan—self-denial, discipline, sacrifice, love, and purity—and apply them in fostering a greater commitment to rejecting corruption.

 

“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.
