According to him, the EFCC is on a path of redemption and every Nigerian should collaborate with it to deliver on its mandate.

“Let the public not see the EFCC as ‘We’ and ‘Them’ or ‘They’ and ‘We’.  It is we-we because without us doing what we are doing, the society will not be a better place for all of us”, he said.  He further called on youths to shun all forms of indiscipline, greed and get-rich syndrome stressing that they are the roots of economic and financial crimes. He pointed out that every religion abhors corrupt practices.

Also speaking, Head of Economic Governance,  Assistant Commander of the EFCC, ACE Sulaiman Muktar Bello warned Nigerians on the danger of Business Email Compromises, BECs, urging them to always follow-up with phone calls on all business dealings online, as relying only on emails could  expose them to fraud.

Speaking on the same vein, Deputy Director, Public Engagement, Commander of the EFCC, DCE Nwanyinma Okeanu charged  youths to be the change they desire to see in the society. “We need to take this country to where we want it to be, by becoming good ambassadors, and correct all wrong doings in the society for a better future for our children and great grandchildren”.
