The Federal government has announced
closure of 21 illegal universities and
fake National Youth Service Corps
(NYSC) camps across the country.
This is made known yesterday by the
Chairman of Independent Corrupt
Practices and Other Related Offences
Commission (ICPC), Professor Bolaji
Owasanoye, during a one-day
interactive seminar for religious
leaders in Kebbi State.
The ICPC boss, while speaking on the
seminar’s theme: ‘Corruption is a sin
against God and a crime against
humanity, reject it’, noted that the
commission had to adopt an holistic
approach to combat corruption.
He said:
“To effectively address the pervasive
nature of corruption in the society, the
commission adopted a holistic approach
to combating corruption, through the
combination of enforcement,
prevention and public education
strategies.”
The ICPC chairman said to ensure
prevention and public enlightenment,
the commission embarked on integrity
outreach programmes, such as
“sanitation of the universities and other
tertiary institutions, which led to the
closure of illegal universities and
prosecution of their proprietors”.
“We closed 21 illegal degree awarding
institutions and fake NYSC camps
across Nigeria. We are prosecuting their
proprietors now,” he said.
Owasanoye, represented by Jimoh Bulus
Mai, ICPC Sokoto Office Officer, added
that the commission embarked on
interactive forum with religious leaders
to enlighten them on ICPC Act 2000 and
challenge them to make positive impact
on anti-graft war in Nigeria.
