Addressing newsmen in Uyo shortly after street sensitisation campaign against corruption in the state, Dugum said corruption was not an easy task to be left for only the EFCC or any anti graft agency to handle and urged the citizens, especially youths to cooperate with the agency by giving information necessary to track down corrupt persons.
According to him, “we had about 70 convictions in Akwa Ibom State last year we have recovered a lot of money and we are progressing. We have arrested 200 persons so far. “Corruption should not be left to anti-corrupt agencies alone it is a difficult task which means that everyone should be incorporated in fighting corruption.
“Look at what is happening in Northeast, what is the source of their money? It comes through some unscrupulous elements who steal our money, so, do not allow your future to be stolen away from you.”
