The Chairman, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Abdulrasheed Bawa, has advised corps members to shun all forms of cyber fraud and make dedication to work their watchword in their various places of primary assignment.
The EFCC boss also urged them to be foot soldiers in the anti-graft fight, adding that the youths are critical stakeholders in the quest to find a lasting solution to courbing corruption to barest minimum in Nigeria.
Bawa gave the advice on Wednesday in his keynote address delivered by the Head, Public Affairs Department, Ilorin Zonal Command of the Commission, Ayodele Babatunde, during the sensitisation lecture for 2021 Batch C corps members at the NYSC Orientation Camp, Yikpata, Edu Local Government Area of Kwara State.
In the address entitled: “EFCC and the role of the youths in curbing corruption”, Bawa further urged the corps members to be shining examples to others and champion the anti-corruption fight.
“Apart from the fact that the youth are considered as leaders of tomorrow, most economic crimes, especially cybercrimes, are committed by young people.
“It therefore follows that young people must not be mere spectators in the anti-graft campaign. Rather, they should actually be the foot soldiers, leading the mass to route corruption and economic crimes out of our land,” he said.
The anti-graft boss thanked the NYSC for giving the Commission the opportunity to impact the corps members on the essence of being agents of positive change in the country.
