The Eonomic and Financial Crtimes Commission, EFCC, on July 8, 2021 charged Nigerian youths to enlist as foot soldiers and change agents in the fight against economic and financial crimes in the country.
Muhtar Bello, Head, Benin Zonal Office stated this during a sensitization lecture with members of the National Youth Service Corps NYSC/EFCC anti-corruption CD groups in Asaba, Oshimili South local government area, Delta State.
The Benin Zonal Head who was represented by Williams Oseghale of the Public Affairs Department, said rather than complain about corruption and its consequences on the society, the youths should support the Commission in its efforts to rid the society of economic and financial crimes. He said it was disheartening that some youth have chosen to embrace cybercrimes as a means of livelihood. He said internet fraud was not a sustainable way of life and the Commission will continue to arrest and prosecute those found culpable.
He commended the corps members for joining the Anti-Corruption CD group and urged them to be role models and good examples in integrity, transparency and accountability.
“As members of the EFCC/NYSC Anti-Corruption CDS group, we encourage you to be good examples. We encourage you to establish integrity clubs in schools where you are serving, and wehre there are integrity clubs, we encourage you to enhance its effectiveness. Let the students in your school embrace the right values. Let them know that hardwork pays and that there is no short cut to success”
