President Muhammadu Buhari in the course of the week extended the ongoing fight against corruption to the nation’s education sector to demand accountability in the administration of academic institutions.
This, he said, has become imperative to address corrupt practices in the institutions.
He said that corruption in education sector had continued to undermine investments.
The president stated this while declaring open the Fourth National Summit on Diminishing Corruption in the Public Sector at the State House, Abuja, on Tuesday.
The Summit was organised by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), Office of Secretary to Government of the Federation (OSGF) and Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
Buhari expressed concern over the manifestation of various forms of corruption in the education sector.
