Ibrahim Magu, Acting Chairman, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, stressed the need to adopt multiple measures including sports in order to effectively fight corruption.

“Football as a sport is not new and we take delight in various sporting activities, this is the reason why we want to inculcate football as a strategy to fight corruption”, he said. Magu made this assertion on Thursday, May 3, 2018 while unveiling the official jersey of the EFCC FC (Football Club), Abuja, at the Commission’s permanent site, Jabi, Airport Road, Abuja, where he was joined by senior management staff of the Commission as well as officials of the EFCC FC. The EFCC boss, while appreciating the Commission’s management and staff for their support for the success recorded so far particularly in making the EFCC permanent site a reality said “this was a huge milestone and it is possible because of such dedication from all the staff”.

In his remarks, Mohammed Bako, Patron, EFCC FC, said, “Football is a social way of networking and EFCC is using this platform for dual purpose of enjoying a good game and mobilizing people while creating awareness about the fight against corruption”. He noted that the fight against corruption was indeed for everyone to tackle individually and collectively.

Also speaking, Usman Haruna Ilerike, Secretary, FCT Football Association, commended the EFCC’s initiative noting that “the future is bright for all the Nigerian youths as football is an engaging sport that will redirect the youths from being used for corrupt practices to something purposeful”. He recalled that, “in 2016 in the FCT FA Annual General Assembly an integrity committee consisting of 2 Desk Officers in each club including FCT was set up to check the menace of corruption and this measure is currently being developed and will be sustained worldwide”.

The EFCC FC, which was founded in 2007 with robust management and technical team and players, won the FCT FA Cup in 2017. The EFCC FC jersey come in red and whilte colours for home and away games. A customized jersey with the Commission’s chairman’s name as top striker (Magu 9), was presented to the EFCC boss.

DrinkLimca:

EFCC FC

Rubbish

Distractions and red herrings from the monumental failure which this administration epitomizes.


We are not deceived....


Meanwhile, big ups for this " Government Of A Thousand Laughs"...

emotions that wanted to take the deal. He understood that every
person has a weak and needy part of their soul that can be bought,
and he knew that every individual also had a part of their soul that
was resilient and could never be bought. It was only a question of
which one was stronger.
“Okay, five dollars an hour.”
Suddenly I was silent. Something had changed. The offer was too
big and ridiculous. Not many grown-ups in 1956 made more than
that, but quickly my temptation disappeared, and calm set in. Slowly,
I turned to my left to look at Mike. He looked back at me. The part
of my soul that was weak and needy was silenced. The part of me that
had no price took over. I knew Mike
had gotten to that point too.
“Good,” rich dad said softly. “Most
people have a price. And they have a
price because of human emotions named
fear and greed. First, the fear of being
without money motivates us to work hard, and then once we get that
paycheck, greed or desire starts us thinking about all the wonderful
things money can buy. The pattern is then set.”
“What pattern?” I asked.
“The pattern of get up, go to work, pay bills; get up, go to work,
pay bills. People’s lives are forever controlled by two emotions: fear
and greed. Offer them more money and they continue the cycle by
increasing their spending. This is what I call the Rat Race.”
“There is another way?” Mike asked.
“Yes,” said rich dad slowly. “But only a few people find it.”
“And what is that way?” Mike asked.
“That’s what I hope you boys will learn as you work and study
with me. That is why I took away all forms of pay.”
“Any hints?” Mike asked. “We’re kind of tired of working hard,
especially for nothing.”
“Well, the first step is telling the truth,” said rich dad.
“We haven’t been lying,” I said.
People’s lives are
forever controlled
by two emotions:
fear and greed.

They will still bribe ref to win match

waiting for DSS United or better still NASS football club. mtchw

WIN THEM AND SEE UR CLUB INVESTIGATED

By my little understanding, this should not be allowed in FIFA. the fifa code or rules strongly advises against the sport being used as a means to further certain people or parties political agenda.

Oh my goodness

What a waste of resources

What a uselsss country

Efcc should come investigate nairaland mods because they are dividing this great site into tribal lines.

How can a mod ban someone for writing "afonja and crime" on a thread where a Yoruba has committed a crime but will be happy to see others write "Igbos and drugs" on a thread where an igbo guy has committed a crime

Nairaland don spoil due to unqualified mods at the helm of affairs.
Seun give nairalanders the power to ban mods base on their actions too.

good idea...like this they stay fit...their are many dinos to run after and kick.....

Nice one
It would fetch more money for the country
