The Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,
Abdulrasheed Bawa, has advised Nigerians to embrace the fight against
corruption because the Commission cannot win the war alone.
Bawa said this when he received members of a civil society
organization, Civil Society Coalition for Transparency and Good Governance, at
the Commission’s headquarters, Abuja on Monday, April 19, 2021.
According to the EFCC boss, “EFCC belongs to all Nigerians
and it is not for anybody.
“We realized long ago that the work of the EFCC is not
something that can be done alone. Civil Society Organizations and Individuals
are all stakeholders because Nigeria is the only country we have.”
Bawa gave the assurance that the EFCC will partner with
civil society organizations to ensure that “the mandate of the Commission and
what we stand for, which is ensuring good governance, is imbibed and the
country is rid of corruption.”
On his own part, the Vice President of CSCTGG, Nse Victor
Udeh, lamented the negative impact of corruption on the country.
He said if the country had functional health, education,
aviation, road and other infrastructure, “we will have less to worry about.”
He added that, apart from scarce resources, corruption is
responsible for the failure of public infrastructures.
“We as civil society are offering ourselves as those who
will continue to project the message of ‘say no to corruption’ in whatever
form”, he assured.
Also on the delegation were the National President, Comrade
Success Uko, Anthony Olah and Bilkisu Abubakar.
