ICPC Formally Established A Student Anti-Corruption Club (SAC) At Andal Science Academy, Kano
ICPC Formally Established A Student Anti-Corruption Club (SAC) At Andal Science Academy, Kano
Cultivating Integrity: ICPC Plants Anti-Corruption Seed at Andal Science Academy
In a resolute effort to curb the pervasive menace of corruption, the Kano State office of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has formally established a Student Anti-Corruption Club (SAC) at Andal Science Academy, Kano.
The initiative marks a strategic shift towards prevention rather than mere prosecution, targeting the conscience of the nation’s future leaders.
The Resident Anti-Corruption Commissioner, Barrister Ahmad Muhammad Wada, was represented at the ceremony by Chief Superintendent Sani Tukur and articulated the core philosophy behind the club.
He explained that its primary aim is to reshape the mindset of the younger generation, actively involving them in the anti-corruption crusade long before they assume positions of power or responsibility.
Addressing the students directly, Barrister Wada urged them to become courageous informants against malpractice, reporting any incidence of corruption to relevant authorities, including the ICPC, through the college principal.
The principal, he noted, would serve as the club’s patron, creating a safe and structured channel for whistleblowing within the school environment.
The Commissioner further emphasised that the club is designed not only to detect wrongdoing but also to thoroughly reorient students to the ills of corruption. He called on them to imbibe the virtues of integrity, discipline, and honesty, insisting that these qualities are non‑negotiable for the leaders of tomorrow who must steer Nigeria towards a more transparent future.
On his part, the principal of Andal Science Academy, Mr. Sam Ade, warmly commended the ICPC’s efforts to establish SACs in various schools across the federation. He assured the Commission of his management’s unwavering support, pledging to nurture the club to yield fruitful results and to embed its anti‑corruption ethos into the broader life of the academy.
Following the speeches, the executive members of the newly formed club were formally sworn in. They were then sensitised on the club’s rules, objectives, and operational boundaries, ensuring that from the outset, leadership was anchored in clarity and purpose rather than mere enthusiasm.

ICPC
The atmosphere reached a festive pitch when a gathering of about eighty students broke into spirited chanting, dancing, and singing of anti‑corruption slogans. Their visible energy and joy suggested that for these young people, the fight against corruption need not be grim—it could be a collective, vibrant, and even celebratory movement for change.
In sum, the launch of the Student Anti‑Corruption Club at Andal Science Academy is far more than a school event. It is a thematic declaration that integrity must be cultivated from childhood, that schools are vital frontiers in the battle against graft, and that with the right nurturing, today’s students can indeed become tomorrow’s most incorruptible citizens.
