“‘You’re the Future: Stay Away from Internet Crimes,’ EFCC Chairman Olukoyede Tells Youths”

Babatunji Wusu –

Mr. Ola Olukoyede, the Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has urged the nation’s youth to shun internet crimes and embrace values of integrity, transparency, and accountability for their future and the country’s progress.

Speaking at a recent event in Abuja, Olukoyede emphasized that “Corruption is not just someone else’s problem; it affects us all. It involves unfair advantages, bribes, lies, and cheating. It also includes the silent bystanders, ignored warning signs, and compromised values.”

He challenged the youth to choose between accepting the status quo or working to change it. “You have the power to either be part of the problem or part of the solution. You are the future, and the future is now. Let’s build a Nigerian society rooted in integrity, transparency, and accountability—a society we can all be proud of.”
