Commission, EFCC, for recording the highest number of convictions among
law enforcement agencies in Nigeria.
Keyamo gave the commendation at the EFCC Academy, Abuja, while
addressing 164 Officers of the EFCC Cadet Course 8 currently undergoing
orientation and induction at the Academy.
Keyamo charged the Cadets to take the fight against corruption
seriously, bearing in mind the admonition of President Muhammadu Buhari
that, “if we don’t kill corruption, corruption will kill Nigeria”.
“Anybody who said corruption is not the bane of Nigeria today is not
honest.
“A research conducted sometime ago revealed that the amount of money
looted as a result of corruption in Nigeria stands at $400billion,” he
said.
Keyamo enjoined the Cadets to celebrate their recruitment into the
Commission at a time when the EFCC truly enjoys complete independence to
execute its mandate.
He blamed interference by previous governments for the slow pace of the
fight against corruption in the past as several investigations and
prosecution of offenders were frustrated.
In another presentation, Femi Gbarufu, Head, Human Resources enlightened
the Cadets on the structure and functions of the Human Resources Unit.
He charged them to observe the stipulated work ethics, codes of conduct
and the core values of the Commission.
