EFCC Boss Speaks On Integrity, Transparency In Leadership.

Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ola Olukoyede says the importance of integrity and transparency as crucial elements of effective leadership in both public and private sectors cannot be over emphasized.

Olukoyede who disclosed this at the 1st President Umaru Musa Yar’adua International Leadership Conference and Awards in Abuja acknowledged that, while there are rules and laws in place to promote integrity, poor enforcement has contributed to the low integrity quotient among many Nigerians.

The EFCC boss implored Nigerians to imbibe integrity in all their endeavors and restated the Commission’s commitment to the provisions of its Establishment Act, and vowed that, the Commission will not relent in its enforcement roles.

This is coming after former President of Nigeria, General Yakubu Gowon, praised late President Yar’adua for imbibing the true spirit of patriotism and being remembered for his love for Nigeria.

Governor of Benue State, Hyacinth Alia, an awardee at the event, thanked the organizers for preserving the late president’s legacy and encouraged Nigerian leaders to be steadfast in delivering on their mandate to move Nigeria forward.
