The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Benin Office on Thursday June 21, 2018 charged prefects of some selected secondary schools in Edo State to focus on their studies and shun all acts of financial crimes.
This charge was made by Williams Oseghale, Head, Public Affairs Directorate, Benin Office at a programme organised by MindPower Africa, a Leadership and Educational Development conference for students and young leaders.
Tagged, Transformational Leadership, Oseghale who represented the Acting Chairman, Ibrahim Magu, posited that good leadership devoid of corruption and criminality engenders development and growth.
He charged the students to be disciplined, study hard and shun acts of criminality in order to realise their dream. “The future of Nigeria is in your hands.
What you choose to do today will go a long way in determining what Nigeria will be in the near future. You must engage yourselves in what is legitimate and progressive. You must say no to examination malpractice, corruption, economic and financial crimes.”
He warned the students to avoid anything that will truncate their dreams as there are laws to deal with those who engage in despicable acts.
Barrister Ogaga Omo-Ovie, convener of the conference thanked the EFCC for enlightening the students which according to him will go a long way in shaping their minds.
