In a move to deepen public engagement and test citizens’ knowledge of its operations, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has unveiled a quiz competition across major social media platforms. The initiative is set to reward participants with exciting prizes while raising awareness about the Commission’s anti-corruption mission.
Open to Nigerians on Instagram, Facebook, and X (formerly Twitter), the quiz is designed to spark curiosity and educate the public on the EFCC’s roles, activities, and achievements in the fight against financial crimes. It promises to be both informative and rewarding, attracting a wide range of participants from all walks of life.
According to the EFCC, questions will be drawn from its weekly television program EFCC Connect, which airs every Wednesday, and its social media educational series, Know About EFCC, posted every Thursday. These platforms have become vital tools for educating Nigerians on the Commission’s mandate, successes, and ongoing efforts to promote transparency and accountability.

Since its establishment in 2003, the EFCC has played a leading role in Nigeria’s anti-corruption war, investigating and prosecuting high-profile cases involving fraud, money laundering, and abuse of public office. With convictions running into the thousands and billions of naira recovered for the federal government, the agency continues to assert itself as a watchdog for financial integrity.
This quiz competition is another step by the EFCC to bring anti-corruption awareness closer to the people, especially the digital-savvy youth population. It encourages citizens to engage with the Commission’s work, understand its importance, and play a part in the national fight against corruption.
The EFCC has promised to announce the official date and rules for the quiz in the coming days. Nigerians are urged to stay tuned to the Commission’s verified social media handles for updates, as the countdown to this engaging and enlightening challenge begins.
