The Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede, has urged students across the country to embrace discipline, integrity, and hard work as core values essential for future leadership.
Olukoyede gave the charge in Abuja during a sensitisation lecture for pupils of Loyola Jesuit Basic School, Karu–Karshi Road, Gidan Mangoro, who visited the EFCC Academy on an educational excursion.
He was represented at the event by the Head of the EFCC Media Academy Unit, Assistant Commander of the EFCC (ACE 1), Chidimma Amanambu, who delivered his message to the students.
The EFCC Chairman advised the pupils to shun dishonesty and all forms of criminal behaviour, while consistently striving for excellence and good conduct.
“You are the future leaders. Be disciplined, truthful, original and hardworking. These values will make you responsible leaders that Nigeria will be proud of,” he said.
During the interactive session, Deputy Superintendent of the EFCC, DSE Angel O. Israel, delivered a lecture titled “Consequences of Crime and the Benefits of Good Morals.” The pupils were also educated on the history, mandate, and operations of the Commission, including common offences investigated by the EFCC and career opportunities within the agency.
Speaking on behalf of the visiting pupils and the school management, the leader of the delegation, Ramat Joshua, expressed appreciation to the EFCC for the enlightening session and the exposure provided to the students.
