The chairman stated that no nation will develop beyond the level and quality of its education.

Owasanoye said the ICPC set up anti-corruption vanguards in schools to push the fight against corruption, particularly in tertiary institutions.

He said the vanguards equip the student members with the capacity to develop zero tolerance for corruption and to inculcate attitudinal change among their colleagues.

Owasanoye hinted that the ICPC conducted a System Study and Review of the university system to identify activities that fueled corruption.

The study discovered bribery, gratification, sexual harassment, and sexual inducement, examination malpractices, over-invoicing, and over-inflation of contract values.
