The acting Zonal Commander of the Ibadan Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, ACE II Hassan Saidu has called on Nigerian parents to inculcate acceptable values in their children through exemplary behaviours for a better and quality upbringing that would berth positive changes in the Nigerian polity.
The Ag. Commander made this declaration on Thursday, May 26, 2022 in a sensitization lecture organized by Right Thinkers Global Initiative (aka EAGLEPING) at Adekile Goodwill Grammar School, Aperin, Ibadan, Oyo State. He stated that all forms of corruption essentially revolves around degeneration of personal and social ethical values, adding that “ethics measures the standard of right and wrong, so you will agree with me that whatever is ethical is moral, and the failure of parents and teachers in school to instill sound morals of respect for rules and regulations burden the nation with a new generation of citizens who believe that you can do anything and get away with it”.
The Ag. Commander who spoke through the Head of Public Affairs Department of the Ibadan Command, DSE Egbodofo Olumide commended the organiser of the event for the initiative.
He noted that the EFCC under the leadership of Mr. Abdulrasheed Bawa, is enforcing a new regime of moral and ethical re-orientation among young Nigerians, with the establishment of “Integrity Clubs” in Primary and Secondary Schools across the country.
He urged the students to do what is right at all times and speak up against any form of violence and corruption once they see it.
In his remarks, Dr. Ola-Olamide Emmanuel, the National Director of the Right Thinkers Global Initiative expressed his gratitude for the unequivocal commitments, efforts and strategic programmes initiated by the EFCC which gave birth to the Integrity Clubs aimed at educating Nigerian children on the ills of corruption.
