The Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Ola Olukoyede, has reaffirmed his confidence in Nigeria’s ability to overcome corruption through collective determination and commitment.
In his goodwill message to Muslims celebrating Eid-el-Fitr on Sunday, March 30, 2025, in Abuja, Olukoyede emphasized that combating economic and financial crimes requires a resolute national effort.
“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 embrace the values of self-denial, discipline, sacrifice, and love exemplified during Ramadan, emphasizing that these virtues should inspire a stronger stance against corrupt practices.
“At Eid-el-Fitr, Allah’s benevolence and sacrifice are greatly magnified. May the lessons of love, peace, joy, and celebration of the festival remain with us and strengthen our resolve to reject corruption,” he added.
Olukoyede also assured Nigerians that the EFCC remains steadfast in its anti-corruption drive, noting that the agency is making significant strides in curbing economic and financial crimes nationwide.
