The Chairman of ICPC, Prof. Bolaji Owasanoye, gave the charge on Thursday in Enugu while inaugurating the members of WARN Network, Enugu State Chapter.

Owasanoye, who was represented by Mr. Enosa Omoighibo, Resident Anti-Corruption Commissioner, Enugu State, urged the members to ensure uprightness and transparency as they kick out corruption in Enugu State.

“Your task needs utmost professionalism and confidentiality in order for you to win public trust and through that you get the needed information and vital intelligence to nail down corruption,” he said.

The chairman, however, commended WARN for its support to the commission and other anti-graft agencies within the country, adding that “unless we eradicate corruption, it will sink the whole country”.

He also appealed to Nigerians to join the fight against corruption to better the lot of the country and its future generation, adding: “If you see something going wrong, say something”.
