Mr Ibrahim Magu, Acting Chairman, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says it is cheaper to prevent corruption than to fight it.

Magu said this on Thursday during the Anti-Corruption Sensitisation Programme organised for the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) and Aviation Sector Workers Abuja.

He said that section six of the EFCC Act required the commission to, in addition to its enforcement responsibilities, take measures to prevent economic and financial crimes.

Magu explained that part of such preventive measures was an aggressive sensitisation campaign, public enlightenment and education in both public and private sectors.

The essence, according to him, is to improve workplace consciousness of corruption and its corrosive effects and encourage workers to embrace them.

“The EFCC alone couldn’t fight and win the war against corruption in Nigeria.

“I would like to seize this opportunity to remind us that, corruption affects all of us.

“We must resolve to fight it to a standstill in line with President Muhammadu Buhari’s admonition to us that, “If we don`t kill corruption, corruption will kill Nigeria.

“We must not allow that to happen, for the sake of our children and the unborn generation.’’
