The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has warned public officers to desist from stealing government funds.
The Chairman of the anti-graft agency Ola Olukoyede, said the commission will not tolerate any form of embezzlement by public officials.
Stressing the anti-graft agency’s commitment to upholding the law and fulfilling its responsibilities, Olukoyede, represented by Wilson Uwujaren, the Director of Public Affairs, during the inaugural President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua International Leadership Conference and Awards held in Abuja, urged the younger generation to learn from the exemplary qualities of the late President Yar’Adua, whose legacy speaks volumes.
He said, “If anybody steals public funds, you won’t get away with it. All the crimes we are set out to fight are based on integrity deficit. Integrity deficit means absence of integrity.”
