The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has launched 30 anti-corruption clubs in selected secondary schools across Kaduna State.

This was made known in a statement on Monday with the ICPC saying the anti-corruption clubs were inaugurated in a bid to re-position the minds of students and enable them to imbibe the virtues of hard work ethics, good citizenship, honesty and integrity in Kaduna.

In his welcome address, the Resident Anti-Corruption Commissioner (RACC), Prince Hassan Mohammed, lauded the courage and great enthusiasm of the secondary schools within the Kaduna metropolis to join the fight against corruption in Nigeria.

“The anti-corruption club in secondary schools is a vehicle to project values taught in the classrooms and to ground them in practical behaviour,” Mohammed said.

He further said that the anti-corruption club prepares the student for future leadership roles.

According to him, it also facilitates the reduction in the several vices prevailing in schools and empower students to challenge the lack of integrity whenever it is detected.
