The 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, charging them to use the lessons of the Easter season to rededicate themselves to the values and virtues of zero corruption.
Olukoyede, according to the EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, gave the charge in Abuja on Saturday through his message in commemoration of the 2025 Easter celebrations.
The EFCC chairman pointed out that the Easter season signifies the importance of renewal and restoration which were needed to build strength against corrupt practices.
According to him, “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 specifically reminded Christians of the sufferings and sacrifices of Jesus Christ for the redemption of mankind, stressing that such ideals were required 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 said.
The EFCC chairman also assured Nigerians of continued commitment to breaking the fang of corruption, urging every stakeholder in the anti-graft corridor to be unrelenting and un- compromising.
He declared, “We have put our hands on the plough, we cannot afford to look back.”
