Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mr Ola Olukoyede, says Nigerians have the capacity to confront and conquer economic and financial crimes if they decide to do so.
A statement by EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, on Sunday, said Olukoyede made the comment in his goodwill message to Muslims in commemoration of the Eid- el- Fitr celebration.
According to him, tackling economic and financial crimes and other acts of corruption are achievable through the courage and commitments of Nigerians.
He also assured that the anti-corruption war is on course, maintaining that the EFCC is gaining more strength and speed in bringing economic and financial crimes to a halt.
The statement added, “Nigerians are stronger than corruption. No corrupt act can break our common resolve and determination.
“We have all it takes to confront and conquer economic and financial crimes.”
He congratulated Muslims and charged them to allow lessons of self- denial, discipline, sacrifice, love and purity of the Ramadan season to imbue in them greater readiness and commitment to shun corrupt practices.
“At Eid- el- Fitr, Allah's benevolence and sacrifice are greatly magnified. May the lessons of love, peace, joy and celebration of the festival abide in us and may they imbue in us greater desire to shun corrupt practices,” the EFCC chairman added.
