Anambra State Government, in collaboration with the European Union Rule of Law and Anti-Corruption, EU ROLAC, has inaugurated members of Anti-Corruption Committee drawn from different Ministries in the state Civil Service.
Inaugurating the eighty-four members in Awka, the state Head of Service, Barrister Theodora Igwegbe, urged them to live up to expectations, as the fight against corruption must be won.
She reminded members of the Anti-Corruption Committee that each of them was carefully chosen to ensure that corrupt practices are totally eradicated from the Civil Service.
Barrister Igwegbe, who is also the Chairman of the Steering Committee of Anti-Corruption Committee, said it behooves on members of the committee to ensure that corrupt practices are reported for necessary punitive measures against perpetrators, and assured EU ROLAC that the programme will be sustained in Anambra because the state government has zero tolerance for corrupt practices.
In her remark, the State Coordinator of EU ROLAC, Mrs. Josephine Onah, outlined functions of the group to include working towards eradication of indiscipline and corrupt practices within the service, noting that with drastic reduction in corruption, the state would become first choice investment destination, and a one-stop shop for investments.
She admonished members of the Anti-Corruption Committee to eschew any form of compromise, and encouraged them to always follow organisational framework in resolving issues.
Present during the inauguration were the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Justice and the Solicitor General of Anambra State, Mrs Ngozi Iwouno, and other Heads of Departments and Units.
