He gave the charge on Tuesday, July 7, 2026, when the students of Regent Secondary School, Abuja, came on a study visit of the Commission.

Speaking on behalf of Olukoyede, the Head of EFCC Radio and Deputy Commander of the EFCC, DCE Nwanyinma Okeanu, described such visits as an important aspect of young people’s sensitisation against corruption and fraudulent financial practices.

She observed that the students’ decision to visit the Commission marked a positive beginning in shaping their future and urged them to remain focused on the path of becoming responsible citizens.

According to her, “Having students visit us from time to time is one of the ways in which we try to tell you that your future begins with the choices you make as young people. What you are going to become begins with the choices you make today. And having made the choice to visit EFCC, today marks a very good beginning to your future.”

Okeanu disclosed that the EFCC was established to restore Nigeria’s dignity by combating corruption, economic and financial crimes, stating that the Commission’s officers are committed to the fight to promote transparency and accountability and safeguard the nation’s future. She warned against the increasing attraction of cybercrimes to young people and described corruption, economic and financial crimes as serious threats to national development.

Delivering a lecture titled, “Ills of Cybercrime,” Eniola Kayode of the Cybercrime Unit of the EFCC, enlightened the students on the nature, causes and consequences of cybercrime, and urged them to resist the temptation of internet fraud and other forms of financial crimes.

She warned that while cybercrimes may appear to offer quick financial gains, it ultimately destroys lives, ruins futures and damages reputations and encouraged the students to channel their talents to productive ventures by using the internet for education, programming, digital skills, online businesses and innovations.

He urged the young visitors to embrace integrity as a non-negotiable guiding principle in their academic pursuits, relationships, and future professional endeavours, noting that the battle against corruption must be waged not only in courtrooms and boardrooms but also in classrooms and playgrounds.

Bakare further elaborated on the Students’ Anti-Corruption Club, describing it as one of the Commission’s flagship strategic platforms for inculcating ethical values, promoting transparency, and encouraging accountability from an early age.

“The club is designed to catch them young—to nurture ambassadors of integrity who will influence their peers, families, and communities. We expect every member to walk away from today’s session with a renewed sense of responsibility,” he added.

In a separate and rousing presentation, Mr. Mfon Umoh, an Assistant Chief Superintendent with the Commission, challenged the students to maintain exemplary conduct and high moral standards at all times, both within and beyond the school gates.

He emphasised the importance of obeying school rules, demonstrating discipline, and resisting every temptation to cut corners, stressing that the habits formed in youth often define the character of adulthood.

Delivering the vote of thanks on behalf of her peers, the Club’s Vice President, Miss Khadija Haliru, expressed profound appreciation to the Commission for what she described as an “enlightening and transformative session.”
