EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede has asked retired officers to protect the agency's image and stick to its values of integrity and transparency.
He made the call on Friday when members of the Association of Retired Officers of the EFCC visited the Abuja headquarters.
The commission shared details of the meeting on its online page.
Olukoyede thanked the retirees for helping to build the agency and said their work will always be remembered.
He said internal reform has been a priority since he took office in October 2023, and that more than 40 staff members have been fired for serious misconduct and indiscipline.
He asked the retirees to be careful about how they carry themselves in public, saying they should respect the EFCC name and not bring it into disrepute.
He said the retirees' support had helped the commission secure convictions and recover assets.
On welfare, he promised that severance payments will continue.
He also said the retirees may be invited to serve as resource persons in leadership training.
The commission plans to set up a subscription based estate for serving and retired staff.
The association's president, Dr Ayo Olowonihi, thanked the chairman for helping to speed up the group's registration with the Corporate Affairs Commission and for securing severance and allowance payments.
Olukoyede has also been named the association's branch patron.
Olowonihi asked for a proper office, a welfare desk for retirees, and a role for them in the commission's training programmes.
