  "summary": "The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has urged religious leaders, including pastors and imams, to preach against corruption and use their platforms to influence the moral values of their followers. EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede emphasized that faith communities have an \"extraordinary responsibility\" in preventing corruption by cultivating honesty and challenging the pursuit of wealth without regard to its source. The EFCC also launched an Anti-Corruption Interfaith Manual for religious leaders, which outlines the doctrinal positions of Christianity and Islam on corruption and provides guidance for preachers to communicate these messages to their followers.",
