The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) held its annual anti-corruption walk yesterday, with Chairman Ola Olukoyede leading the charge.
The event aimed to promote whistleblowing and encourage Nigerians to take an active role in reporting economic and financial crimes.
Olukoyede stressed the importance of collective action in tackling corruption and urged citizens to join the fight.
The walk, which took place in the FCT, was attended by EFCC directors, including former spokesperson Wilson Uwujaren, and staff members.
The walk, commemorating 2024 AU Anti-corruption Day, also happened simultaneously in states like Abuja; the day was marked by a colourful Road Walk by EFCC staff and other stakeholders in the anti-corruption corridor.
Amidst dancing, singing, and exhilarating clarions, Olukoyede led the walk from the EFCC’s Wuse 2 Zonal office through the streets of Maitama and terminated it at the Unity Fountain.
It is usually a period during which the anti-graft agency raises awareness about the dangers of corruption in the country.
The commission staff, National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members, and journalists all participated in the walk.
