Bawa made the call on Wednesday, August 17, in Abuja at the opening of a workshop on Economic and Financial Crime reporting, organised by the commission for journalists covering its activities.
I want to use this opportunity to further urge media practitioners to put the interest of our country at heart, particularly as it relates to a conscientious effort not to celebrate the corrupt in our midst.
I urge you to expose them on the pages of your newspapers, screens of television or on your various online platforms.
The war against corruption is a worthy fight for the soul of Nigeria, and for the future generation; it should not be left to the EFCC alone.
