Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Mr. Abdulrasheed Bawa has called on members of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, to take ownership of the war against economic and financial crimes, in order to save the nation their deleterious effects.
He gave the charge on Wednesday, December 1, 2021 in Port Harcourt, Rivers State while addressing Corps members at the NYSC’s Orientation camp in Nonwa- Gbam. According to him, only public ownership of the anti- graft war can drive the requisite commitment to tackle the menace of corruption.
” As young Nigerians, the EFCC expects you to align yourselves with the anti- corruption war by being change agents, good campaigners against corruption and by publicly owning the crusade. It is only public ownership of the war against corruption that will deepen your commitments to the anti- graft war”
Bawa, who spoke through Head, Public Affairs Directorate of the EFCC in the Port Harcourt Zonal Command, Assistant Commander of the EFCC, ACE Dele Oyewale, enjoined the Corps members to impact their places of Primary Assignments positively through zero tolerance for corruption. “Your integrity and transparency will endear you to other Nigerians. You must reject corruption in words and deeds”, he said.
