Offa Poly unveils anti-corruption unit

Date: 2022-06-09

Authorities of the Federal Polytechnic, Offa, Kwara State, have unveiled its Anti-Corruption and Transparency Unit to tackle academic fraud and other related offenses on the institution.

The Acting Rector, Dr. Olarongbe Afolabi, during a sensitisation campaign organised by the Mass Communication Department, noted that the unit would fight education fraud within the system.

He said: “The ultimate goal is to stop corruption completely, but we have to start from somewhere and we are starting on a very good note in this polytechnic.

“Stopping corruption completely will depend on everyone's mindset. The thing is, in Nigeria, we are so hypocritical in fighting corruption. Are we sincere? Or we are just doing mere propaganda?

“We are committed to fighting corruption. We are interested in fighting corruption. It is one of the principal mantras of this administration. We have the Anti-Corruption and Transparency Unit in this school. Servicom unit is also involved.''

Speaking about the campaign, Head of Department of Mass Comm, Mr. Wole Alawode, said it was imperative to address unethical practices.

“Using shortcut will lead Nigeria to more problems. We need to call the attention of the Federal Government to the education sector. Educational malpractices, cheating and all do not bode well for us. Everyone should be concerned with youth development and how the education sector is functioning,” he said.

Another lecturer, Mr. Chucks Okoji. said: “If we say we want a better Nigeria, we'll start from the education sector; that's why we have decided to say no to corruption in education.”
