EFCC Executive Chairman Ola Olukoyede has urged students and youths to build their futures through integrity and accountable conduct, warning against the temptation of shortcuts, speaking through the Commission’s spokesperson, DCE Dele Oyewale, when students of Wisdom Academy visited EFCC headquarters in Abuja.
Olukoyede said many young Nigerians are drawn to criminality, internet fraud and financial infractions in search of quick success, insisting that such shortcuts ultimately cut ambitions short, and urged students to embrace sustainable, time tested values that can support them in the long run.
He described Nigeria’s corruption problem as one requiring wisdom to navigate, tying the message directly to the visiting school’s name, and said Nigerians today find themselves choosing between being part of the problem or part of the solution.
The EFCC boss stressed that no institution, not government nor the EFCC itself, would build the students’ futures for them, insisting that industry, resourcefulness and commitment to integrity remain the only firm 
ground for lasting success.
Head of Enlightenment and Reorientation, ACE II Aisha Muhammed, added that the Commission runs Integrity Clubs in primary and secondary schools and Zero Tolerance Clubs in tertiary institutions, urging students to resist peer pressure and the get rich quick mentality often pushed on young people.
