Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Abdulrasheed Bawa, has told staff members of the commission to resign if they are corrupt.
Bawa gave the charge while addressing staff members at the EFCC zonal office in Markurdi, Benue state capital, on Thursday.
He said the values of professionalism and integrity must be upheld in the discharge of duties.
The EFCC Boss noted that it was not possible for an official who was corrupt to fight corruption.
According to him: “Let me remind each and every one of us that we are doing a very special job, that the government, the people of Nigeria, and international community are looking up to us to have a better Nigeria.
“We will never tolerate any form of corruption in this place. If you are a bad egg, you are free to leave. We will be happy to work with a few people, and we are ready to dismiss and dismiss. If you think you cannot do what the laws of the land expect us to do, kindly resign and leave us alone.”
Bawa advised the staff members to be proactive and strategic in their approach to the fight against corruption.
He stressed that the commission would not rest on its oars, as Nigerians and the international community were looking up to the agency to eradicate corruption in the nation.
He said the commission would invest in human capacity development and staff members’ training for it to achieve its mandate.
He added that the EFCC was working on several policies that would enhance its growth.
Bawa said: “We are renovating, rehabilitating, and remodeling the EFCC academy. This is for adequate staff members’ training and retraining for improved efficiency and effectiveness in the discharge of our duties to achieve our goals and objectives.
