Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Ola Olukoyede, has rejoiced with Christians across the country on the occasion of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and charged them to use the lessons of the Easter season to rededicate themselves to the values and virtues of zero corruption.
He gave the charge in Abuja yesterday in commemoration of the Easter celebration.
Olukoyede pointed out that the Easter season signified the importance of renewal and restoration which were needed to build strength against corrupt practices.
“Easter season offers opportunities of renewal, revival and restoration to Christians. May this season revive in us the overriding need for integrity, transparency and higher ideals for the development of the nation,” he said.
He reminded Christians of the suffering and sacrifice of Jesus Christ for the redemption of mankind, stressing that such ideals were needed for nation-building and sustainable development.
“We all need to redouble our energy and embrace sacrifices, no matter how demanding, for the rebuilding of our nation. It is a task for every Nigerian, irrespective of class or creed,” he added.
EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale said the EFCC chairman also assured Nigerians of continued commitment to break the fang of corruption, urging every stakeholder in the anti- graft corridor to be unrelenting and un- compromising.
