ICPC Launches Anti-Corruption Club in 40 Schools

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) inaugurated the Student Anti-Corruption Club (SAC) across 40 private secondary schools in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) on a date unspecified in the article. Dr. Musa Adamu Aliyu, the ICPC Chairman, urged students to embrace integrity and accountability, emphasizing their role as ambassadors of integrity within their school communities.

He noted that the initiative is part of the ICPC's broader strategy to engage youth in the fight against corruption, as mandated by Section 6 of the ICPC Act 2000. Mr. Demola Bakar, Director of Public Education at ICPC, revealed plans to intensify the commission's engagement with educational institutions and integrate Parent-Teacher Associations (PTAs) into their programs.

The ICPC has reached 20 million Nigerian youths through its integrity reorientation programs since 2003, aiming to lay a solid foundation for ethical leadership and responsible citizenship among young Nigerians.
