*ANTI-CORRUPTION!!!*
_See something, Say something, Do something_

Good day to us all,

Election in the CDS Group is always a form of choosing representatives who will govern the affairs of the group in order to actualise the goal of the CDS Group.

I wish to convey my sincere gratitude to our supervisor, Mr. Akile Theophilus for taking out time of his busy schedule in supervising the electoral process and ensuring its transparency. Thank You sir.

I also want to thank all the members for electing members without sentiments whatsoever. We have really demonstrated what we stand for.

I can't also take for granted the dedication of the electoral committee (Shadow, Blessing, Usman) in ensuring the smooth running of the electoral process, Sincere appreciation to you all.

Congratulations to the elected Excos and we urge you to put in your best for the betterment of the CDS Group so that we can remain *_The Best CDS Group_*

Don't keep calm, speak and act against corruption at all times.

As Nigeria battles damaging economic effects of corruption, it is important to redouble efforts aimed at curbing corruption which include sensitization campaigns. Hence, the need for a campus summit for student leaders with the theme "Our Role in the Fight against Corruption" which held at College of Health Sciences Auditorium, Benue State University organised by the Anti-Corruption CDS Group, Makurdi in collaboration with the Students Union of BSU.

Mr. Inuwa Abbas, an ICPC official and Mr Adebayo Adeniran Samuel, an EFCC Official delivered the sensitization lectures.

Other guests include Mr. Bako Alonge, Mrs Mary Atabo, Mr. Richard Ogberagha, Mr. Theophilus Akile and also the deputy dean of student Affairs BSU, Prof. J.J Kur.

The Anti-Corruption CDS Group joined other corp members and NYSC Staffs in Makurdi to participate in the nationwide NYSC Environmental Sanitation Exercise that took place on Saturday, 24th July, 2021.

The exercise was also meant to enlighten the public, especially the rural dwellers on the health risk of poor environmental hygiene.

"Cleanliness is next to godliness", keep your environment clean!

More pictorial excerpt from the sanitation exercise.

Be clean!!!

Cleanliness is next to godliness! And one who maintains cleanliness keeps away diseases.

Today, 13th July,2021 the Anti-Corruption CDS Group Makudi, joined other CDS Groups in Makurdi to embark on the NYSC Benue state sensitization walk around the environs of Makurdi for the forthcoming NYSC National Sanitation Exercise. Indeed, "....under the sun or in the rain...."

Indeed there can be no sound health without neatness...

Some members of the NYSC Anti-Corruption CDS Group on a courtesy visit to meet with the newly inaugurated EXCOS, members and teachers in charge of the Anti Corruption club in Makurdi International School on the 8th July, 2021.

The president of the NYSC Anti-Corruption CDS Group, Ayero O. Samson charged both the Executives and members of the Anti-Corruption club to uphold honesty at all times and to be a person of integrity. He also emphasised on the need for the members of the club to carry the messages of shunning corruption to family and friends.

It was indeed a productive visit.

The fight against corruption is one that has been taken seriously lately by the anti- corruption CDS group Makurdi to help reduce the effects of corruption in the society. A sensitization program and inauguration of executives was done in padopads school Makurdi on the 30th of June 2021 to help curb corruption and produce students of integrity in the society.

Our profound gratitude goes to the ICPC officials: Mrs Mary Atabo
Mr Abbas Inuwa and Mr Bako Alonge
for the educative and impactful section held with the students and also the management for the opportunity to enlighten the students.

*KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!* If we must defeat Corruption, we should know how these corrupt acts are perpetrated and how to tackle it.

It was a beautiful moment when an official from EFCC: Mr Samuel Adebayo educated the members of the NYSC Anti-Corruption CDS Group about fraudulent activities ranging from investment scams, ATM scams, fake SMS alert amongst others and the ways these can be avoided.

*SAY NO TO CORRUPTION!!!*

Education is a fundamental human right and a major driver of personal and social development. It is regarded as a foundational right, whose achievement is a precondition for a person’s ability to claim and enjoy many other rights. However, in societies where corruption is rampant, there is a great risk that the entire education system will be undermined. Children and adolescents often become familiar with corruption at schools and universities, and corruption in the classroom is particularly harmful as it normalises acceptance of corruption at an early age.When this happens, a central role of the anti corruption cds is to teach ethical values and behaviour that shapes the mindset of these students into becoming productive and reliable individuals in the society. We want to use this medium to thank government girls college for the opportunity to educate their students on the challenges of corruption and how to curb it and also our ICPC officials for taking time out of their busy schedule to support our movement and ensures it becomes a success. The fight against corruption is a fight for all so See Something,Say Something and Do Something!!!

Corruption in the educational sector and society at large threatens the well-being of society because it erodes social trust and worsens inequality. It sabotages development by undermining the formation of educated, competent, and ethical individuals for future leadership and the labour force. Anti corruption cds makurdi took it as a duty to enlighten and educate the students of Boma secondary school makurdi on the ills of corruption and strategies to reduce it thereby breeding them for better managerial positions in the future and also providing a safer society for all to live in.

Corruption is the cancer at the heart of so many of our problems in the world today. It destroys jobs and holds back growth, costing the world economy billions of pounds every year. It traps the poorest in the most desperate poverty as corrupt governments around the world syphon off funds and prevent hard-working people from getting the revenues and benefits of growth that are rightfully theirs. It steals vital resources from our schools and hospitals as corrupt individuals and companies evade the taxes they owe. It can even undermine our security and development. This page was created to curb corruption and create awareness about the ills of corruption in the society.
