EFCC Inaugurates Zero Tolerance Club At Benson Idahosa University
The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Abdulrasheed Bawa on Wednesday, May 3, 2023 charged Nigerian students to channel their creative energies into useful and productive engagements and shun dubious activities. The EFCC chairman stated this during the inauguration of  Zero Tolerance Club, ZTC, at Benson Idahosa University, Benin City.


The EFCC boss who was represented by ACE II Williams Oseghale, Head, Public Affairs Department, Benin Zonal Command said internet fraud was an abominable crime and that there is no truth or justification in saying that it is a creative way to beat unemployment. "The dishonesty, deceit and wicked scheming involved are heinous. Internet fraud are crimes with stiff penalties, he said.
He said the launch of the ZTC is to provide a platform for involvement of students and youth in the fight  against corruption,  promote a culture of patriotism,  honesty, accountability,  morality and responsibility among students .

Speaking earlier, the Vice Chancellor of the University,  Professor Sam Guobadia commended the idea of establishing ZTC in the school. "I believe strongly in the popular adage that says prevention is better than cure; that is why we quickly approved the coming of the anti-graft agency to this school as we thought about the benefit on the lives of not just the students but on the school as a whole." He promised to ensure the growth of the Club in the university.

The Dean of Students Affairs and Patron of the Club, Professor (Mrs) Marble O. Ehigiator thanked the Commission for establishing the club in their school and admonished the students to uphold the values of the club.

The president of the newly inugurated club, Aifuwa Precious,  commended the Commission for the opportunity. "I have learnt something new today and I  am happy we are part of the Zero Tolerance Club, This is a good one".
