UN Women Delegation Visits EFCC Creative Youth Initiative Against Corruption

According to Michael, “the initiative seeks to achieve a culture of integrity and corruption free society through educational development, creative arts, digital technology, information technology and entrepreneurship among children and youth. We also saw the need to involve women in the project as fundamental stakeholders, because they are critical members of the Family unit and in response to calls made by so many of them for participation.”

While commending the project, Heili assured of UN’s interest in the programmes targetted at gender equality, child development and women empowerment. “This is great, it’s all very exciting,” Anouk said. She promised to work with the group towards achieving the sustainable goals.
