The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has said that the upsurge of corruption in the country is defeatable if every stakeholder on the anti-graft corridor makes concerted efforts.

The Chairman of the anti-graft agency, Ola Olukoyede made this known in a statement in his Eid-El-Kabir message.

He noted that renewal of efforts towards combating all forms of economic and financial crimes is necessary to kill the menace.

The anti-graft boss also felicitated with Muslims on the occasion of Eid-El-Kabir, saying that the lessons of the festival should drive more commitments to the anti-corruption fight.
