The Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Mr. Ola Olukoyede, rejoices with Christians across the country on the occasion of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and charges 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 on Saturday, April 19, 2025, in commemoration of Easter celebrations. The EFCC’s boss pointed out that the Easter season signifies the importance of renewal and restoration, which are needed to build strength against corrupt practices.
” Easter season offers opportunities for 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 specifically reminded Christians of the sufferings and sacrifices of Jesus Christ for the redemption of mankind, stressing that such ideals are 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 said.

Lastly, Olukoyede assures Nigerians of continued commitment to breaking the fang of corruption, urging every stakeholder in the anti-graft corridor to be unrelenting and uncompromising. ” We have put our hands on the plough, we cannot afford to look back”, he said.
