FEDPOLY Monguno Rector Declares Open ACTU Induction Ceremony, Charges Members on Integrity and Transparency

The Rector of Federal Polytechnic Monguno, Dr. Alhaji Umar Bukar, has formally declared open the induction ceremony for members of the institution's Anti-Corruption and Transparency Unit (ACTU), charging them to uphold highest standards of integrity, transparency, accountability and professionalism.

The ceremony, held at the Conference Hall of the Polytechnic's Liaison Office, was organised to familiarise members with their responsibilities and strengthen their capacity to contribute to prevention of corruption and promotion of transparency.

ACTU is a strategic initiative of the Federal Government intended to serve as an in-house mechanism within MDAs to identify, monitor and address systemic lapses that may facilitate corruption and unethical behaviour. Through its preventive and monitoring functions, ACTU is expected to promote compliance with relevant rules and encourage culture of integrity within public institutions.

In his opening remarks, the Rector expressed sincere appreciation to the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) for accepting the Polytechnic's invitation and for its sustained efforts towards promoting integrity, accountability and ethical standards in public institutions.

He urged newly inducted members to attach great importance to the induction and take full advantage of expertise and guidance to be provided by ICPC resource persons.

The Rector emphasised management's readiness to provide necessary support and cooperation to ensure effective discharge of ACTU's mandate, noting that institution would continue to uphold principles of integrity, professionalism and prudent management of public resources while pursuing continuous improvement in service delivery.
