Reject Corruption This Year – EFCC Tells All Nigerians

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Tuesday cautioned Nigerians to shun corrupt practices this year (2025) and remain resolute in their fight against corruption.

According to the chairman of the commission, Ola Olukoyede, the nation’s progress and development depend on collective efforts to combat economic and financial crimes.

In his New Year message to the citizens, delivered in Abuja on Tuesday, the EFCC boss emphasised that rejecting corruption was key to improving the quality of life for all Nigerians and advancing the economy.

The anti-graft agency boss urged citizens to seize the opportunities the New Year brings to recommit to values of transparency, accountability and integrity.

“We can make any progress and development we want for our nation to happen by our support for anti-corruption initiatives.

“The new year is offering us fresh opportunities to recommit ourselves to the ideals of transparency, accountability and probity.

“The commanding heights of the economy and improvement in our lives can only be driven by our dedication to integrity and accountable conduct,” Olukoyede said.

He assured Nigerians that the EFCC was poised to surpass its achievements in 2024, while promising that the officers will remain relentless in their pursuit of justice.

“Our work is more than a vocation but a patriotic calling. We know this and will always offer our best to move the nation forward.

“2025 will be another year of bringing towers of corruption down. Our focus is set and our commitment is total,” he added.
