In an ongoing effort to tackle corruption and strengthen governance, Nigeria is set to commemorate the 2024 United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) International Anti-Corruption Day (IACD), with a series of national and sub-national events. 

The activities, organised by the Inter-Agency Task Team (IATT) and supported by the Rule of Law and Anti-Corruption (RoLAC) Programme, aim to unite citizens and institutions in the fight against corruption.

Themed: ‘Uniting with Youth Against Corruption: Shaping Tomorrow’s Integrity’, this year’s commemoration had a symposium in Abuja, the official IACD. 

Events will include school debates, rallies, sensitisationcampaigns, and a symposium showcasing the performances of anti-corruption agencies (ACAs) and law enforcement agencies (LEAs).

Highlighting the significance of the event, RoLAC ProgrammeManager, Dr. Emmanuel Uche, stated: “Corruption undermines democracy, hampers economic development, and destabilizes governance. Through coordinated efforts like these, we aim to emphasize the role of every citizen and institution in combating corruption and building a more transparent society.”
