The fifth Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC Olanipekun Olukoyede among other distinguished Nigerians have been nominated for the prestigious International Peace Award by the Global Peace Movement International, UK.
In a press statement by the President General of the group, Dr. Mike Uyi said that the award is in fulfillment of one of its cardinal corporate social responsibilities to acknowledge and reward excellence by different players and stakeholders who in one way or the other gave their robust contributions to the growth and development of the society and the nation at large.
Uyi commended Olukoyede as well as the Commission for the concerted efforts in the fight against corruption and service to humanity.
According to Uyi, the award is to further emphasize that Olanipekun Olukoyede’s performance resonates with people and governments that hold transparency dear to their hearts, far beyond the shores of Nigeria.
The Award further hopes that “through its public image, the visibility of those who are fighting corruption is not only enhanced but also celebrated across the world”, Uyi said.
