The Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ola Olukoyede, has urged Nigerians to stay steadfast in the battle against corruption.
In his New Year address delivered in Abuja on Tuesday, Olukoyede emphasized that the nation’s advancement hinges on the collective effort to combat economic and financial crimes.
He highlighted that rejecting corruption is essential for enhancing the quality of life for all Nigerians and boosting the economy.
Encouraging citizens to embrace the opportunities of the new year, Olukoyede called for a renewed commitment to the principles of transparency, accountability, and integrity.
“We can make any progress and development we want for our nation to happen by our support for anti-corruption initiatives. The new year is offering us fresh opportunities to recommit ourselves to the ideals of transparency, accountability, and probity.
“The commanding heights of the economy and improvement in our lives can only be driven by our dedication to integrity and accountable conduct.”
Olukoyede assured the public that the EFCC is ready to exceed its previous accomplishments in 2024, reiterating that its officers would continue their relentless pursuit of justice.
“Our work is more than a vocation but a patriotic calling. We know this and will always offer our best to move the nation forward. 2025 will be another year of bringing towers of corruption down. Our focus is set and our commitment is total,” he declared.
