By Hillary Asemota

As Nigerians join the rest of the world to celebrate Christmas, the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Ola Olukoyede, has expressed hopes of a greater and better Nigeria devoid of economic and financial crimes and other acts of corruption.

He stated this in Abuja on Tuesday, while congratulating Christians as they mark the birth of Jesus Christ. The EFCC’s boss stressed that the light, joy, hope, truth and liberty that Christ brought to the world are significant drives towards zero tolerance for corruption and reform-minded pursuits.

“I deeply believe in the prospects of our nation for growth and development.  The Christmas season is an opportunity to activate these possibilities.

Spokesperson, to EFCC Chairman, Mr. Dele Oyewale, in a statement quoted his boss as saying that the values of light, joy, hope, truth and liberty that Christ brought to the whole world are significant pathways to integrity and zero tolerance for corruption. 

“We can make Nigeria greater if we embrace these values.” he said.

He expressed appreciation to President Bola Tinubu, for demonstrating stronger political will in favour of anti-graft efforts, pointing out that the achievements of the EFCC in the last one and half years are a direct outcome of his courageous and inspirational leadership.

Nigerians can see clearly that President Tinubu is bent on tackling corrupt practices in our midst, adding that the strides of the EFCC could not have been possible without his active support and courage. 

“We appreciate this at all times.” he said.

While commending the Judiciary, he stressed: “Professionalism, commitment, integrity and courage of our Justices and Judges are greatly building strength for the EFCC in its anti-corruption works.

He charged the judiciary to continue on its path of redemption and equity, applauding the media, civil society groups and other critical stakeholders for their fervency and robust engagement with the Commission. 

He assured that, with their collaboration, greater strides would be made in the coming year.

 The anti-graft czar wishes Nigerians a merry Christmas and fruitful 2025, Oyewale, added.
