Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mr Ola Olukoyede, has expressed optimism that Nigerians can live above corrupt practices by resolving against them.
  
He stated this in Abuja yesterday, in his goodwill message to Muslims celebrating Eid-el-Fitr across the country. 
  
According to him, tackling economic and financial crimes and other acts of corruption are achievable through courageous resolve and the corporate commitments of Nigerians. 
  
“Nigerians are stronger than corruption.  No corrupt act can break our common resolve and determination.  We have all it takes to confront and conquer economic and financial crimes,” he said.  
  
He congratulated Muslims and charged them to allow lessons of self-denial, discipline, sacrifice, love and purity of the Ramadan season to imbue in them greater readiness and commitment to shun corrupt practices.  
  
“At Eid-el-Fitr, Allah’s benevolence and sacrifice are greatly magnified.  May the lessons of love, peace, joy and celebration of the festival abide in us and may they imbue in us a greater desire to shun corrupt practices,” he said.
