He also emphasized the critical roles that young people especially corps members, can play in promoting integrity, accountability, and transparency at their respective places of primary assignment and society at large.
‘As young graduates and future leaders, you are in a strategic position to drive the message of integrity and to stand as ambassadors of the anti-corruption campaign. The fight against corruption is not for the EFCC alone, it requires the collective effort of all well-meaning Nigerians, especially the young people ‘ Babatunde said.
