The EFCC has now been given full power to fight against cybercrimes.
It means more arrests will be made against those concerned.
If you know anyone engaging in internet crime or any other form of corruption and Naira abuse, now is a good time to warn them again and tell them to stop.
President Bola Tinubu has called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to keep its flames burning against the scourge of internet crimes and other acts of corruption.
He gave the directive in Abuja at a one-day public engagement on youth, religion, and the fight against corruption.
Also, the programme witnessed the launch of the Fraud Risk Assessment Project for Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) organised by the EFCC.
EFCC To Tackle More Frontally
In addition, the President pointed out that the disturbing contagion of cybercrimes has been a challenge and slur on the image of the nation.
Also, the EFCC was asked to spare no effort in tackling it more frontally.
“Our country is not a nation of fraudsters, and the pejorative reference to internet crimes as the “Nigerian scam” across the world is unfair, untenable, and unacceptable.
“Cybercrimes, to all intents and purposes, are a global phenomenon.
“Also, today’s world is run in real time on the internet.
“Governance, businesses, institutions, and even individual domestic affairs are dependent on the internet.
“A Threat To The World”
“Cybercriminals are, therefore, a threat to the rest of the world.
“This is why no effort or expense should be spared in confronting evil.
“However, I want to assure the EFCC that the government will continue to offer its support in its quest to kill the dragon that internet offences have become,” he said.
Tinubu, who spoke through Vice President Kashim Shettima, expressed the government’s determination to tackle corruption hard.
Break The Fangs Of Corruption
Also, he stressed that “we cannot be focused on growth and development and at the same time offer any breathing space to corrupt practices.
“No nation grows without breaking the fangs of corruption.
“Additionally, the EFCC has been duly instructed to do its job at all times without any extraneous considerations.

“The Renewed Hope agenda of our government is impervious to corruption.
We should all join hands together to move Nigeria in a new direction”.
One of the other issues Nigeria is facing at this time is insecurity.
In the northern part of the nation, the military is working hard to end the activities of terrorist and bandits.
