Olukoyede Bags Integrity Award For Championing Youth-Driven Anti-Corruption

The Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede, has been honoured with the prestigious Integrity and Ambassadorial Award 2025by the Nigeria Patriotic Youth Against Corruption and Transparency Initiative (NPYACTI), in a ceremony held at the Commission’s corporate headquarters in Jabi, Abuja.

The award, conferred in recognition of Olukoyede’s outstanding leadership and commitment to youth empowerment, celebrates his proactive stance in Nigeria’s anti-corruption fight. Ambassador Emmanuel Dapeh, National Coordinator of NPYACTI, praised Olukoyede’s exemplary public service and consistent efforts in mentoring the younger generation. “Your untainted values of humility, integrity, and patriotism have inspired Nigerian youths and strengthened our resolve to fight corruption,” Dapeh said.

Receiving the award on behalf of the EFCC Chairman, Assistant Commander of the EFCC and Head of the Enlightenment and Reorientation Unit, Aisha Muhammed, expressed appreciation for the recognition. She emphasized that prevention remains a key pillar of the Commission’s mandate, noting that initiatives like Integrity Clubs in schools and Zero Tolerance Clubs in tertiary institutions are designed to instill anti-corruption values early on.

Muhammed reaffirmed EFCC’s readiness to collaborate with organisations like NPYACTI to deepen awareness and provide the tools necessary to foster a culture of transparency among Nigerian youths. “Before we arrest, we enlighten. The Chairman is focused on prevention and youth involvement because they hold the future of this country,” she noted.

The honour not only underscores Olukoyede’s dedication to institutional reform and youth inclusion, but also reinforces EFCC’s strategic pivot towards grassroots sensitization as a tool for long-term societal transformation.
