The Kano Zonal Assistant Commander of the EFCC, ACE Farouq Dogondaj, gave the charge in Dutse, Jigawa State on Thursday, September 22, 2022 while addressing members of the EFCC/ Community Development Service group of the NYSC.
According to him, the task of moving the nation forward, could only be successful, when corps members join forces with other interest groups to expose cases of economic and financial crimes in their environments.
Dogondaji, who spoke through the Head of Public Affairs of the Command, Idris Isiyaku, urged corps members to see themselves as critical stakeholders in the fi#htagainst economic crimes and shun all internet-related offences.
“The EFCC is calling on you to take advantage of the whistle blower policy of the government, by reporting any questionable practice wherever you find yourself. Being a mere spectator and lamenting that things are not done rightly, will not help the country. You must wake up and take ownership of the fi#htagainst corr#ption in order to salvage the nation from the yoke of stagnation.
The fi#ht against corr#ption cannot be left in the hands of law enforcement agencies alone, all stakeholders must key into the crusade and fi#ht it to the barest minimum. The EFCC has realized that, youths who are regarded as leaders of tomorrow, are the ones engaged in cyber fr@ud. This should no longer continue,” he said.
