“We developed a manual that we intend to give to faith-based institutions to give to their followers and will also discuss the need to partner with the EFCC.
“We want to tap on our religious strength in Nigeria because corruption can be checked with a change in attitude.
“There are also plans to establish anti-corruption studies in the school curriculum.
“We already have anti-corruption clubs in some tertiary institutions and we are trying to push at the national level to include anti-corruption study in students’ curriculum.
“The trend around the world is to include anti-corruption in students’ curriculum to be able to catch them young in terms of their understanding,” he said.
