The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has entered into a strategic partnership with Master Agents Show (MAS), a private organization committed to nurturing responsible citizenship among young Nigerians.
The partnership was formalized through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Tuesday at the ICPC headquarters in Abuja. The agreement aims to implement youth-focused programs designed to promote integrity, transparency, and accountability nationwide.
Speaking during the signing ceremony, the ICPC Chairman, Dr. Musa Adamu Aliyu, SAN, who was represented by the Secretary to the Commission, Mr. Clifford Oparaodu, welcomed the collaboration and reaffirmed the Commission’s dedication to initiatives that contribute to national development.
“It is encouraging to see organisations like Master Agents Show aligning with us in the fight against corruption,” Mr. Oparaodu said. “We believe this partnership will have a far-reaching impact by positively influencing young minds and fostering a culture of integrity in Nigeria.”
In his remarks, Mr. Osigbeme Enike, Managing Director of the Master Agents Show, expressed optimism about the collaboration, stating that the initiative will support the organization’s mission of addressing social challenges through education and reorientation.
“We approached ICPC for this partnership because we believe that through basic education and awareness programmes, we can raise a new generation of young Nigerians who are passionate about integrity and accountability,” Mr. Enike said.
The partnership will see both parties work together to develop and implement a series of educational and awareness campaigns targeting youths, to instill ethical values and combat corruption at its roots.
