The Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ola Olukoyede, has charged students across the country to choose the path of integrity in order to excel as future leaders.
He gave the charge on Thursday, November 6, 2025 in a sensitization lecture for students of Mami Bright Islamic Academy, Kaduna State.
Speaking through Chief Superintendent of EFCC, CSE Nana Fatima Abubakar of the Public Affairs Department of the Kaduna Zonal Directorate of the EFCC, Olukoyede expressed delight with the invitation from the school to deliver the lecture and to get the students acquainted with the activities of the Commission and with ways they can contribute as future leaders in the fight against corruption, economic and financial crimes.
“As future leaders, imbibe the culture of honesty, hard work, perseverance and integrity wherever you may find yourselves, they are important virtues,” he said.
He cautioned them against exam malpractices, stealing, laziness, lateness to school, peer and societal pressures and indeed against all vices that could endanger their self-actualization as future leaders, noting that they have a role to play in shaping their future, even as young people.
To awaken their creative energies, the EFCC boss encouraged the students to take advantage of the endless opportunities made available by the internet to showcase their talents and for research purposes rather than indulge in internet crimes that would imperil their future.
While highlighting the harmful effects of corruption and financial crimes on individuals and the society, Olukoyede urged the students to contribute to the anti-corruption fight by reporting acts of corruption and financial crimes to the Commission through the Eagle Eye App.
In her remarks, the Principal of the school, Hajiya Hadiza Abdulsalam expressed appreciation to the Commission for honouring the school’s invitation and for the insightful lecture.
“We are all better informed now, having realised that the EFCC investigates so many cases which we didn’t know about. The EFCC is obviously doing so much, we are grateful. Our prayers are with you all. Our school is willing and ready to join in the fight against corruption in order to secure a better future,” she said.
On their part, the students during the interactive session pledged to spread the EFCC’s message of integrity, honesty and hard work to their peers, families and communities.
