Preventive mechanisms against corruption are imperative – EFCC Chairman

The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC) Ola Olukoyede,  says preventive mechanisms against corruption, adherence to the rule of law and engagement of diverse publics in the nation in the fight, are imperative.

He stated this in his new year address to Staff of the Commission via its official X Handle on Thursday January 18, 2024.

According to him, preventive modality is the centerpiece  adding that “We are already building strength in this area through restructuring of the layers of the Commission.”

Olukoyede stress the need for a transactional credit system as a potent means of keeping corruption at bay

“As you would recall, our new policy drive is premised on a three-pronged agenda and blueprint. The first plank of the agenda is proper focusing of the mandate of the EFCC. All over the world, the major objective of the war against corruption and financial crimes is to drive economic development and create wealth and job opportunities for the populace.  We need to come to these realities and operate by them.  Our nation is in dire straits. We need to continue to do everything possible to stimulate the revenue profile of Nigeria There is no Agency of government as crucial to the nation’s quest for growth and development as the EFCC.  We have all it takes to bring up the profile and developmental index of our nation. I urge all of you to be steadfast and committed to this clarion.”
