The Kano State Resident Anti-Corruption Commissioner, Ahmed Muhammad Wada, has called on public servants to uphold ethical and professional responsibility as the foundation of public service delivery.

This was contained in a press statement issued following the inauguration of the Anti-Corruption and Transparency Unit (ACTU) at Federal Government College, Kano.

Commissioner Wada, who was represented by Chief Superintendent Ibrahim Garba of the ICPC Legal Services Department, Kano State Office, made the call during the ceremony, urging members of the newly established unit to regard their appointment as a responsibility to promote accountability within the institution.

He described the ACTU as a key implementation structure of the ICPC’s corruption prevention mandate, designed to strengthen transparency and provide a practical framework for combating corruption at the institutional level.

“You are expected to treat this responsibility as a turning point in ensuring that the affairs of this institution are conducted with integrity and accountability,” Barr. Garba said on behalf of the commissioner.

He added that the establishment of ACTUs in institutions such as schools represents a strategic approach to embedding anti-corruption values early in the system.

Earlier, the principal of the college, Hafsat Adebayo, welcomed the initiative, describing it as a timely intervention aimed at promoting integrity within the education sector.

“This move will go a long way in nipping corruption and related offences in the bud at various levels of society,” she said, adding that the unit would help keep both staff and students accountable in their daily conduct.

Speaking on behalf of the ACTU, Dr Dawah Iliyasu Sodangi described the inauguration as a call to duty, noting that members had been sensitised on corrupt practices and preventive measures.

He said the unit would serve as an ethical guide within the institution, reinforcing integrity and responsible behaviour among stakeholders.
