Olukoyede Encourages Students to Uphold Integrity

Mr. Ola Olukoyede, the Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has advised students across the country to reject all forms of economic and financial crimes and instead, choose a life of integrity.

He made this call during the induction of students from Excellent Kiddies Academy in Bwari, Abuja, into the EFCC's Integrity Club. Olukoyede, who was represented by Assistant Commander of the EFCC I, Tony Orilade, emphasized that adopting moral uprightness from an early age is essential for a successful future. He warned the students against negative influences that could lead them into criminal activities, stating that such choices could lead to severe consequences, including the loss of opportunities to hold public office if convicted. The Integrity Club initiative is part of the EFCC's "catching them young" policy, which focuses on fostering integrity among children to become ambassadors of good values in their various spheres. The event included a quiz competition about the EFCC, with winners receiving educational rewards. The school's Integrity Club Master, Mr. Gbenga Jatau, thanked the EFCC for the opportunity and recognized their efforts in combating financial crimes and promoting integrity in Nigeria.
