    The Kano Zonal Director of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Commander of the EFCC, CE Ibrahim Shazali has called on institutions of higher learning across the country, to introduce anti-corruption courses as a core requirement for all first-year students.

    This is in order to equip undergraduates with the necessary knowledge and understanding about the pervasive issue of corruption in the country and the significant roles they can play in combating it.

    Dele Oyewale, EFCC’s Head, Media & Publicity disclosed this in a statement signed on Tuesday.

    Shazali made the call in Kano on Tuesday, January 14, 2025 while receiving the Vice-Chancellor of Yusuf Maitama Sule University, Professor Mukhtar Attiku Kurawa , who paid him a courtesy visit in his office.

    He said that equipping undergraduates with rightful information about the menace of corruption would empower them to join the EFCC in tackling the monster.

    “Given the alarming rate of corrupt practices that continue to hinder Nigeria’s socio-economic growth and stability, the EFCC believes that the educational sector holds a vital responsibility in shaping the moral fabric of future leaders.

    “An anti-corruption course will not only enlighten students about the detrimental effects of corruption but will also instill values of integrity, accountability, and patriotism”, he said.

    The EFCC Kano Director explained the rationale of his proposal, pointing out that, “I think it is important to introduce anti-corruption studies in the university system and make it a prerequisite alongside general studies at 100 level, for every student to have an idea about corruption and what it takes to be of good character”

    He further said that the EFCC in its public enlightenment and engagement campaigns, already has Integrity Clubs and Zero Tolerance for Corruption Clubs in primary, secondary and tertiary institutions respectively and assured the VC that such Clubs will soon be established in Yusuf Maitama University.

    On the issue of corruption, Shazali enjoined the VC to be diligent, especially in the bursary and procurement departments of his University as those two departments are more vulnerable to corruption according to facts available to the EFCC.

    Speaking earlier, Kurawa disclosed that his University had recently established the Department of Cyber Security to address the pressing need for skilled professionals in the ever-evolving field of information technology security.

    He said: “The proliferation of cyber threats, data breaches, and online fraud pose significant challenges to individuals, businesses, and government institutions in Nigeria and around the world”.

    He sought the establishment of a forensic laboratory for equipping students with practical skills and the necessary tools to combat cyber-related challenges.

    He therefore urged the Kano Command of the EFCC to come to the aid of the University to meet the need.

    Shazali assured him of possible support but equally urged him to reach out to international donor agencies who are keen on fighting corruption for assistance.
