The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede, has called on National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members to be change agents and actively fight against corruption in Nigeria.
Youth as the Driving Force Against Corruption
Speaking at the NYSC Orientation Camp in Yikpata, Kwara State, Olukoyede emphasized the need for youths to act as whistleblowers and intelligence-gatherers to help curb financial crimes.
Represented by Ayodele Babatunde, the Head of Public Affairs at EFCC’s Ilorin Zonal Directorate, Olukoyede highlighted that corruption fuels many of Nigeria’s major challenges, including kidnapping, banditry, and poor infrastructure.
Hard Work Over Crime
He urged corps members to embrace honest work and legal business ventures, warning against fraudulent activities such as cybercrime (Yahoo-Yahoo).
> “There is no shortcut to success. Crime may bring temporary wealth, but it leads to long-term misery,” he stated.
Olukoyede assured that eliminating corruption would unlock Nigeria’s economic potential and create better opportunities for the youth.
