EFCC vows not to compromise integrity
The Independent Corrupt Practices and other
Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has asked
Nigerians to expose corrupt officials in the public
and private sectors.
The commission’s assistant commissioner, Musa
Alkali, said this in Kaduna, at a lecture organised
by the state’s Traffic and Law Environmental
Agency, in conjunction with the state’s council of
Nigerian Union of Journalists.
Alkali, who spoke on the topic, “Overcoming the
corrupt temptations in the course of action,” said
people indicted by various government agencies
and the anti-corruption bodies are enemies of the
country.

He therefore charged the people not to hide
corrupt officials, but report suspected cases to the
relevant authorities for investigations.
The commissioner maintained that the scale of
corruption in the country was alarming, saying, the
fight against corruption must start with an
individual.
General Manager of the traffic agency, Zubairu
Yerima, said the road walk and public
enlightenment campaign was to sensitise residents
on the traffic laws that would become operational
from today.
According to him, the 50 days grace period, earlier
given to road users has ended, adding, “Nobody
will be spared again, if he breaks our laws.”
Alkali urged citizens to “desist from indiscriminate
dumping of refuse in the gutters in this raining
season.”
FRSC sector commandant, Mr Owomiha Francis
Udoma, urged the traffic marshals not to spare
whoever disobeys traffic law, “Even if he or she is
a relation.”
Also, the NUJ Council’s chairman, Garba
Muhammad, pledged the union’s support for the
agencies activities.
Meanwhile, Acting chairman of the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim
Magu, yesterday pledged not to compromise his
integrity in the anti-graft fight.
He made the pledge when he visited the outgoing
United States Ambassador to Nigeria, James
Entwistle, in Abuja.
Magu urged the ambassador to continue to
monitor his performance as chairman of the EFCC,
assuring that, having come this far, he would never
compromise his integrity.
The chairman said the purpose of the visit was to
wish the departing envoy fare well, having enjoyed
a close working relationship with him.
He also thanked him for his support and
cooperation. “Even when you leave, do not forget
us. Continue to be our ambassador,” he solicited.
Head of the commission’s media and publicity,
Wilson Uwujaren, had added that Entwistle
commended Magu for the vigour he has brought to
the fight against corruption in Nigeria.
