The National Orientation Agency (NOA) and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) are set to roll out a nationwide sensitisation campaign aimed at curbing cybercrime and fostering a culture of financial responsibility among Nigerians.
The partnership was announced by the NOA Director-General, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, during a public lecture organised by the EFCC in commemoration of the African Union Anti-Corruption Day.
According to a statement by the NOA Deputy Director of Communications and Media, Mr. Paul Odenyi, the campaign will focus on combating the growing threat of virtual asset scams and investment fraud.
A Digital Awareness Campaign is expected to be launched across strategically selected states identified by vulnerability indicators such as high youth population, prevalence of fraud, and exposure to digital risks.
As part of the initiative, NOA will also implement a youth-focused programme designed to promote ethical entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and informed decision-making, particularly among young Nigerians vulnerable to online scams and get-rich-quick schemes.
Issa-Onilu further highlighted the agency’s broader efforts in crime prevention, including the use of its AI-powered anonymous reporting platform, CLHEEAN, which allows citizens to report criminal activities directly to relevant security agencies.
EFCC Chairman, Mr. Ola Olukoyede, reaffirmed the Commission’s strong collaboration with NOA in raising public awareness on anti-corruption efforts and urged Nigerians to support the fight against financial crimes.
The event drew participation from top officials, including the Director-General of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Dr. Emomotimi Agama; the Registrar-General of the Corporate Affairs Commission, Hussaini Ishaq Magaji; representatives of the Women Society of Nigeria; and various civil society organisations.
