We need Nigerians and every stakeholder. As student leaders, you are our partners in taming cybercrime on campuses \u2014 you can be our whistleblowers. The trend now is to use cybercriminals to launder money for politically exposed people; let\u2019s look at how to expose these people. We cannot sit back and allow this ugly trend to continue,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He urged NANS to devise strategies to mobilize and sustain anti-fraud awareness campaigns among students nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>In response, a former National Public Relations Officer of NANS, Comrade Bestman Okereafor, lauded Olukoyede for his \u201ctransformative leadership and tangible results\u201d in the fight against corruption.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have always stood with the Commission and will continue to do so. As partners in progress, we are committed to supporting the EFCC in combating cybercrime, while rejecting propaganda, injustice, and wrongdoing,\u201d Okereafor affirmed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
