EFCC Boss Olukoyede Charges Officers On Integrity, Institutional Rebranding
The Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Mr. Ola Olukoyede has charged officers of the Commission to uphold integrity, competence and transparency and be worthy ambassadors as the anti-graft agency embarks on rebranding.

He gave the charge on Saturday, June 27, 2026 at the closing ceremony of the Strategic Leadership Course One, organised for senior officers of the Commission at its headquarters in Jabi, Abuja.
In his lecture titled: “Institutional Branding and Behavioural Impact,” the EFCC boss observed that public confidence in the agency depended largely on the conduct and professionalism of its personnel, noting that every officer represents the image and values of the Commission both within and outside the workplace.
He tasked the senior officers on operational effectiveness and accountability as well as fairness, which he said are imperative to place the Commission respectably in the public domain.
The EFCC’s boss urged the participants to act ethically and in honesty in their enforcement activities even under pressure. “Pursue financial crimes fearlessly, impartially, and without compromise, regardless of the stature of the offender,” he said.
He noted that institutional rebranding goes beyond adoption of a new logo or public relations messages, but hinges more on positive behaviourial and attitudinal change of every member of staff, noting that the Commission’s effectiveness in the fight against corruption, economic and financial crimes depends on the level of trust it enjoys from the public, transparency, accountability and professionalism of officers.
While urging the officers to understand that leadership extended beyond operational competence, he tasked them on equipping themselves with human capital management and crises resolution and in the ability to inspire confidence in subordinates.
He explained that the Strategic Leadership Course was introduced to prepare officers for the broader responsibilities that accompany leadership positions as the activities of the Commission continue to grow in scope.
“A leader must be able to create an atmosphere that makes people believe in what you do and believe in you. You must be able to encourage people, make sacrifices and even take bullets for your team and for the institution,” he said.
The continuous expansion of the Commission, he noted, required more officers to assume leadership responsibilities, thus making capacity development imperative and urged the officers to cultivate a culture of learning, noting that self-development is critical to their career advancement and institutional excellence.
He further challenged the officers to embrace innovation and adapt to latest technologies, warning that clinging to outdated methods in the new era of artificial intelligence and cutting- edge technology could stall both individual and institutional progress.

The EFCC as a law enforcement agency, he said, must constantly update its technological know-how and benchmark its operations with global best practices to remain effective, adding that the Commission’s officers must regularly study developments in anti-corruption fight and law enforcement by paying diligent attention to the operations, methods and tactics of leading international agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigations, FBI, of the United States and UK’s National Crime Agency, NCA.

Synergy Is A Strategic Necessity For Misson Success: CAS Charges Future Commanders At Air Force War College
The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke, has reaffirmed that synergy among the Armed Forces remains indispensable to achieving mission success in contemporary warfare, charging future military leaders to embrace strategic leadership, jointness and innovation as essential drivers of operational effectiveness.

Speaking during a lecture titled “Military Strategic Leadership: My Perspective” to participants of Air War Course 12/2026 at the Air Force War College Nigeria (AFWCN), Makurdi on 29 June 2026, the CAS emphasised that today’s complex security environment demands leaders with the foresight, adaptability and collaborative mindset required to deliver decisive military effects. Participants comprised senior officers of the Nigerian Air Force, Nigerian Army and Nigerian Navy, alongside allied officers from Botswana, Cameroon, Ghana and the Kingdom of Morocco.
Air Marshal Aneke observed that effective military leadership goes beyond command authority to inspiring people, shaping institutions and translating national strategic objectives into operational success. Quoting one of the central messages of his lecture, he stressed that “Synergy is not optional; it is a strategic necessity,” noting that integrated planning and coordinated execution enable commanders to achieve effects beyond the capability of any single Service.
He explained that the deliberate integration of airpower with surface forces enhances operational effectiveness and remains central to addressing contemporary security challenges.
The CAS further highlighted that his Command Philosophy is focused on building a highly motivated, professional and mission-ready force capable of delivering effective airpower in synergy with surface forces for the realisation of national security objectives. He explained that this vision is being advanced through mission-focused training, personnel development, innovation, strategic partnerships and a proactive approach to sustaining operational readiness. According to him, “Strategic leadership depends on policy foresight rather than reactive decision-making,” underscoring the importance of preparing leaders for future security challenges.
Emphasising the human dimension of military capability, Air Marshal Aneke reminded the participants that the strength of any Air Force ultimately lies in its people. He urged the future commanders to cultivate strategic thinking, ethical leadership, emotional intelligence and a lifelong commitment to professional development, stressing that investment in personnel remains fundamental to operational excellence. He further encouraged them to foster trust across Services and with partner nations, describing it as the foundation for successful joint operations and enduring military effectiveness.
The lecture concluded with an engaging interactive session during which participants exchanged ideas with the Chief of the Air Staff on strategic leadership, joint operations and future warfare.

The Commissioner of Police for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), CP Ahmed Muhammed Sanusi, has issued a strong warning to police officers against extorting commercial tricycle operators, motorists and other residents of Abuja.
Speaking during an address to officers, Sanusi said any policeman found collecting illegal money from members of the public would be regarded as a criminal rather than a law enforcement officer.
According to him, “You cannot be both a police officer and a thief. We don’t want to receive any reports of officers extorting keke riders or motorists in Abuja. The day we receive such complaints against you, you are a thief.”
The police commissioner stressed that the duty of officers is to protect lives and property, enforce the law professionally and treat members of the public with respect. He warned that the FCT Police Command would not tolerate harassment, intimidation or any form of unprofessional conduct by its personnel.

Sanusi further assured residents that the command remains committed to building public trust through discipline, accountability and intelligence-driven policing. He urged officers to uphold the image of the Nigeria Police Force and avoid any act capable of bringing the institution into disrepute.
