Ola Olukoyede, Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has blamed the neglect of cultural values for the high rate of corruption in the country. He said this on Tuesday when Chief Biodun Ajiboye, Executive Secretary of the National Institute for Cultural Orientation, NICO, paid him a courtesy visit in Abuja.
The visit was to discuss inter-agency collaborations towards re-orienting Nigerians on the need to revive their cultural values as a tool to fight and eradicate corruption in the country. In a statement issued by Mr Caleb Nor, media aide to Ajiboye, Olukeyede said that the commission was doing its best to curb the menace of corruption to a reasonable level.
“We need to channel our efforts towards crime prevention rather than recording thousands of convictions. “There is also a need for us to look at the loopholes and re-orient the people and that is where NICO comes in. We need people like you to support us by getting involved in the fight against corruption.
