EFCC, PSC, NEMA Bosses Salute Staff On Workers’ Day

Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr Ola Olukoyede has commended staff of the agency for their doggedness, diligence and sacrifices in breaking the fangs of economic and financial crimes and other acts of corruption.

He made the commendation in Abuja yesterday, May 1, 2024 in commemoration of the Workers Day.

Olukoyede admitted that the task of fighting corruption is all- embracing, deep and uncompromising.  “It requires intellect, integrity, focus and commitment.  On a day like this, I consider it important to salute the brain and brawn of my officers.  They are nation builders and we need to appreciate them”, he said.

Also, the chairman of the Police Service Commission, Dr. Solomon Arase has promised to stand in solidarity with the staff of the commission and officers of the Nigeria Police Force and ensure that their working conditions will continue to improve for better service delivery.

Arase said he will also continue to advocate  for their dignity and rights since he believes  that together “we will build a PSC and Police workforce  where every worker is valued and encouraged.”

For the director-general, National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Zubaida Umar, she said Workers Day “is a moment of celebrating the dignity of labor while emphasizing the importance of renewing commitment to social justice. For us working in disaster management and relief operations to save lives, the job is becoming more complex and challenging with protracted, cyclical and emerging disasters in Nigeria just as obtained across the world.

“I want to use this occasion to emphasize the need for a renewed commitment by all members of staff of the National Emergency Management Agency to meet up with our noble responsibility of saving lives, giving hope to the distressed and supporting the federal government of Nigeria and indeed all tiers of governments to a build safer, dignified, more secure and resilient Nigeria.”
