Eid-el-Fitri: EFCC boss urges Muslims to uphold anti-corruption values
The chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede, has felicitated Muslims across the country on the celebration of Eid el-Fitri.
The commission’s spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, said this in a statement on Friday in Abuja.
Mr Olukoyede urged Muslims to honour the values of discipline, self-denial, purity, sacrifices and anti-corruption, which the Ramadan season exemplified.
According to him, Muslims have demonstrated strength and abiding faith in Almighty Allah throughout the Ramadan season.
He enjoined them to continue to keep faith with those values.
“As we celebrate Eid-el-Fitri, let us continue to reverence the values of discipline, self-denial, purity, anti-corruption and commitment to higher ideals of life which the Ramadan season truly imbued in us.
“The best of us is what is good for the best of our nation. We will together make Nigeria better and corruption-free,” he said.
