The newly appointed zonal head of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibadan office, Kanu Idagu Monday asked the commission’s officers to always live above board and steer clear of corruption.
Mr. Idagu who gave the advice in Ibadan during a brief interactive session with the EFCC staff in the zone on his assumption of office emphasised that the officers should also make integrity their watchword.
The EFCC new zonal head said he is ready to work hard to improve the good image he met on ground adding that the zone is one of the best in the commission.
“He who wants to come to equity must come with clean hands, so the saying goes. As law enforcement officers, you must guide your integrity jealously. You must stay away from corruption. If there is anyone among you involved in corrupt practices, I implore you to change your ways now. The EFCC abhors corruption and that stance should be our creed,” he said.
Describing the Ibadan EFCC team as resourceful and efficient, Mr Idagu
said he was coming with high spirit and the mindset to make things better, urging the officers’ to support him and be committed to work in the quest to lift the commission to greater heights.
“Success should not be a one-off affair. The zone has done well. Your record last year was fantastic and inspiring. But we can always do better. This is a fresh year that poses a fresh challenge. We are what we do repeatedly. Excellence is not an act, but an attitude. We, therefore, must remain consistent in the spirit of excellence. We must work in synergy and re-dedicate ourselves to the mandate of the commission. We should work hard to beat last year’s record. I know we can do better if we push harder, as it is said that if you don’t exceed your limit,you can’t create a miracle.”
