The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has stated its intention to take strong action against public officials who engage in the theft of public funds, adding “If anybody steals public funds, you won’t get away with it.”
At the inaugural President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua International Leadership Conference and Awards in Abuja, the statement was made by the EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, on Monday, organised by the Global Initiative for Leadership Success.
Olukoyede, speaking through the Director of Public Affairs, Wilson Uwujaren, urged the younger generation to adopt the admirable qualities of former President Yar’Adua, as his accomplishments are truly inspiring.
“If anybody steals public funds, you won’t get away with it. All the crimes we are set out to fight are based on an integrity deficit. Integrity deficit means absence of integrity,” he said.
