The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has called on religious leaders, including pastors and imams, to utilize their pulpit and mosques to spread anti-corruption messages in Nigeria, according to a report by The PUNCH. EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, emphasized the significant influence religious institutions hold in society and their potential to shape people's characters, prevent corrupt practices, and promote honesty.
Olukoyede emphasized that corruption does not discriminate based on religion or ethnicity, affecting all Nigerians equally. He urged religious leaders to use the newly launched Anti-Corruption Interfaith Manual as a tool to educate their followers against corruption and its consequences on society. The manual was developed in collaboration with leaders from both Christian and Muslim communities to provide doctrinal positions on corruption within Christianity and Islam.
