The Economic Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) Port Harcourt Zonal Head, Usman Imam has warned youths to stay away from all acts of criminality and easy money.
Imam spoke after the Ten million man walk against corruption organised by the EFCC and National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Imam declared that young people must be vanguards of the fight against corruption because their future depends on it.
“The future that the Nigerian youth deserves is not going to be secured through corruption and engagement in acts of criminality such as cybercrime, advanced fee fraud and money laundering. They can secure a blissful future through the pursuit of legitimate businesses and vocations.
“The youths must shun criminality and strive to rescue the country from the grips of corruption. They are to take ownership of the anti-graft war. For this reason, it is imperative that we sensitize them and recruit them to fight in the anti-corruption army.
