The Director, Olusegun Obasanjo Centre of African Studies, National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN-OOCAS), Prof. Wilfred Ugwuanyi, has sought for a collaboration with the academy arm of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on anti-corruption workshops.
The wide-ranging sensitisation workshops OOCAS sought target traditional rulers, youth leaders, and community-based organisations.
The director dropped this request when he led a delegation on a courtesy visit to the EFCC Academy in Karu, Abuja, recently.
OOCAS, during the visit, also tabled the need to hold such workshops for INEC and States Independent Electoral Commission in the 36 States on “Electoral and Anti-Corruption Campaign in Nigeria.
Other areas are: Collaborative Research on Corruption and Violence in North-east Nigeria, a Book Project on Anti-Corruption Studies in Nigeria, Development of Sensitisation Materials on Corruption and Anti-Corruption to be disseminated to secondary schools and tertiary institutions, among others.
“We seek collaboration with the anti-corruption academy; we are devising ways to work together for the progress of our great country and also benefit for Africa," Ugwuanyi said.
Responding, the commandant of EFCC Academy, Dr. Joseph Ogwiji, welcomed the delegation ideas and promised that his agency was very interested in collaborating with OOCAS.
The OOCAS delegation comprised of Prof. Kenneth Azingba, Dr. Chidozie Atuonwa and Dr. Kayode Odedino.
