EFCC reaffirms commitment to professionalism, integrity
Rising from a three-day Management Retreat, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has restated its commitment to enhanced professionalism and integrity in driving the nation’s fight against economic and financial crimes and other acts of corruption.
This resolve was made in Uyo, Akwa-ibom State on Saturday by top brass of the Commission led by its Executive Chairman , Mr. Ola Olukoyede at the end of a three-day Retreat for Directors of the EFCC.
Speaking on the theme of the Retreat, “EFCC: the Journey So Far, Ensuring Professionalism and Integrity”, Olukoyede pointed out that professionalism and integrity are key to the future relevance and effectiveness of the Commission, promising that the EFCC’s workforce would turn out to be a critical mass of honest, highly motivated and effective team.
The EFCC Chairman appreciated the sacrifice, hard work, discipline, and commitment of staff of the Commission in making such achievements, calling for increased dedication to surpass the records of 2024 and greater commitment to the integrity of processes in the agency.
One of the resource persons, Professor Tonnie Iredia spoke on “The Role of Personnel in Information Management and Public Perception of the EFCC”, stressing that wrong perception of the works of the EFCC was coming out of deliberate distortion and outright cynicism about the strides and courageous works of the Commission.
He applauded the “passion, integrity, and transparent leadership Olukoyede is offering the Commission” and called for more involvement of Nigerians in the anti-graft fight.
Another speaker, Mr Femi Falana, SAN, went down memory lane about the evolvement of the Commission and affirmed that” the Commission has come to stay”, lauded Olukoyede and the entire staff of the Commission for being undaunted, resolute and progressive in moving the anti-graft war forward.
