The Executive
Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Mr Ola
Olukoyode has admonished youths in the country to choose the
path of integrity in all their endeavours.
He gave the charge when students of Shehu Giwa
Academy, Al Bidayatul Jameela International School and Butterfly Academy,
all in Kaduna came on an educational trip to the Kaduna Zonal
Directorate of the EFCC.
Speaking through Acting Director, Kaduna
Zonal Directorate of the EFCC, Usman Bawa
Kaltungo, Olukoyede expressed delight at the interest of students in
the anti-corruption fight and urged them to be guided by ethical
behaviours in the course of their academic pursuit and other
endeavours and to especially avoid the contagion of internet
fraud because of the regrets that come with it.
"I was once like you, but today I am a
leader in the anti-corruption fight. So, I urge you to choose the path
of honesty and integrity in all you do, even in your
educational pursuit. I also wish to urge you not to be
discouraged by the numerous challenges that we are faced with today. You all
must face your studies and play your role to the best of your abilities as
patriotic citizens of this great nation,” he said
