The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Ibrahim Magu, on Friday said the agency will be steadfast in its war against corruption despite the fact that some of those being prosecuted are fighting back.
He said all Nigerians have a duty to kill corruption because of its negative impacts even on the unborn generation.
Magu, who made the submissions while receiving a delegation of the Nigeria Labour Congress, led by its President, Comrade Ayuba Wabba, asked the labour to support EFCC.
He said: “The negative impact of corruption affects the whole country, including our children and the unborn generation, and so we need your support more than ever before.
“Corruption is fighting back as many of those being prosecuted for corrupt practices have the wealth to throw about. We have resolved to remain steadfast in executing the war against corruption.
“All of us have the duty to kill corruption.
On his part: Wabba said there as need to form a united front in confronting the “monster” called corruption.
He said: “Corruption is a monster that has done more harm to our country than any other thing, because it is the cause of the crises in the various sectors of Nigeria be it power, health or housing.”
He said it was time to renew the affiliation and unity between NLC and EFCC because “corruption is now fighting back.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
