“EFCC believes that the fight against corruption requires all hands to be on the deck for it to be won.

“Therefore, it is within your powers to secure a corruption-free system for Nigeria, if you so desire.

“I will urge you to take up this challenge today, as we work together to take Nigeria to greater heights,” the EFCC chairman said.
