Peter Obi Warns Nigeria Must Examine Itself After EFCC’s 60% Cybercrime Claim
Former Anambra governor Peter Obi has described the EFCC chairman’s claim—that six out of every ten Nigerian university students are involved in cybercrime—as deeply troubling. He warns this points to a serious moral and systemic failure. Obi notes Nigeria has about 2–2.5 million students in higher institutions. If 60% are into fraud, roughly 1.4 million youths are at risk of being labelled criminals, suggesting hard work is being devalued. He argues that leadership sets the tone. When integrity is not upheld at the top, it trickles down. Obi urges Nigerians to rebuild their value system, enforce accountability fairly, and create a culture where honesty and discipline are rewarded.
