The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ola Olukoyede, has charged Nigerian youths to lend their forces and voices in support of anti-corruption agencies, so as to rid society of corruption.

He spoke in Lagos, Ibadan and Kaduna at town hall meetings on youth against corruption, in commemoration of 2024 International Anti-Corruption Day.

The 2024 theme is “Uniting the Youths against Corruption: Shaping Tomorrow’s Integrity.”

Speaking at the Ibadan, Oyo State, town hall meeting, held at the Ultra-Modern Hall of the Federal College of Agriculture, Apata, Olukoyede, represented by the acting Zonal Director of Ibadan Zonal Directorate, Hauwa Ringim, advised the youth to close ranks and confront the monster fiercely.

He said corruption affected every age group but a bit harder against the prospects and possibilities of the youth.

“This makes it more binding on young people to tackle corruption more fiercely than any other age group.

“The scourge of graft limits and vitiates the opportunities of youths for self-actualisation.
