The Gombe Zonal Head of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Babashani Umar Sanda, has charged youths serving the country through the National Youth Service Corps ,NYSC across Nigeria to resist negative values and prepare themselves to taken on the challenges that beset their country.

Babashani gave the charge, on Thursday 15 July, 2021 while addressing Corps members serving at Gombe State during their Community Development Service (CDS) day at the NYSC Zonal Secretariat, Bolari , Gombe State.

Babashani who spoke through the Head, Public Affairs, Chris Oluka, observed that

“The common impression today based on happenings in the country is that the youths by their actions seem not to be ready to face their future; that rather than work hard and prepare themselves for that tomorrow, they are engaging in thuggery, cultism, sexual abuse and internet fraud among other vices

“Now is the time to reinvent yourselves positively in order to take up your God-given responsibilities of salvaging the country from all the problems bedevilling it.”

He urged them not to be deceived by the allure of wealth being displayed by some internet fraudsters but to emulate Nigerian role models who achieved fame and recognition by sheer grit and determination.

Highlight of the occasion was a sensitisation walk organised by the Anti-corruption CDS group, and supported by EFCC Zonal office across some selected streets of the metropolis.
