Chairman of the ICPC, Prof Bolaji Owasanoye SAN, represented by the Head of Osun State office of ICPC, Mr Baba Alaro Shuaib, explained further that corruption, which goes beyond financial issues, also include examination malpractice, sex-for-marks and award of contracts without due process.

He said corruption can be tackled by schools through helps from the youths.

Owasanoye, who spoke while presenting his keynote address, stated that the formation of Students Anti-Corruption Clubs in secondary schools was an important strategy to engage the youths actively in the fight against corruption especially in their formative years.
