UNN begins anti-corruption war

According to an information made public on the University of Nigeria's website <<<< http://www.unn.edu.ng/anti-corruption-and-transparency-unit-university-of-nigeria/>>?>, the University Administration has established an anti-corruption and transparency unit.



The Unit which has the vision of helping the University Community become an entity free from corrupt practices, fair and transparent in its dealings and ensuring the University's integrity is maintained through a system of accountability, is located at Room 313, Department of Civil Engineering, Nsukka Campus.

The Unit shall work with Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC) and every other relevant anti-graft agency within the country. It is therefore expected that all within the University Community will help in the fight against corruption by reporting any corrupt practice in whatever form and at whatever level to the Unit at their office or through the following channels:

Security is everybody's Business

via http://ecorner.stanford.edu/articles/4217/Its-Everybodys-Business-Now

Until you find yourself in a situation you may never know that security is everybody's business.

The need for everyone to take security seriously within the University community can never be overemphasised. The role which society play is one that is paramount to the peace and continued existence of every society, in this case, the University Community.

We have had cases where students were robbed and due to the fact that the information on how to go about making reports or calling in for help during distress moments were unknown to them, they went on suffering in silence.

It is also rather absurd and weird that most students, including staff, of the University Community do not know there the University has a functional security outfit. It is for this group of persons and to an extent every other person within the community that we have gone the extra miles to get the following information which we believe is a must-know for everyone within the University community because security is everybody's business.

Nomenclature:    University of Nigeria Security Department,

Location:            Adjacent Main gate, UNN.
