The Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ola Olukoyede, has felicitated Christians across the country on the celebration of Easter, expressing optimism that Nigeria will overcome corruption and emerge stronger.

Olukoyede stated this in Abuja on Saturday in his Easter message to the nation, where he urged Nigerians to draw lessons from the significance of the season.

He noted that Easter symbolises victory over trials, corruption and death, stressing that the message remains instructive for Nigeria in its fight against graft.

“The lesson of Easter is all about undeniable victory over trial, corruption and death. This lesson is instructive for us as a nation. We will surely overcome the trial and trauma of corruption. We are not defined by corruption, we cannot be defeated by it,” he said.

The EFCC chairman also charged Nigerians to keep hope alive and sustain their faith in the commission’s efforts, assuring that the anti-graft agency remains committed to its relentless war against economic and financial crimes.

He called for continued public support and cooperation, noting that collective resolve is essential to defeating corruption and entrenching accountability in the country.

Olukoyede further encouraged citizens to imbibe the virtues of sacrifice, renewal and righteousness associated with Easter, adding that these values are critical to building a corruption-free nation.
