The Human and Environmental Development Agenda (HEDA Resource Centre) has partnered with UNILAG Consult to introduce Diploma Programs on Anti-corruption, Good Governance, and Illicit Financial Flow, as part of HEDA’s 20th anniversary celebration.
During the unveiling at UNILAG Senate Lounge, Sulaimon Arigbabu, Executive Secretary of HEDA, emphasized the urgency of addressing corruption in Nigeria, stating that corruption, coupled with impunity, is the nation’s biggest challenge.
Arigbabu stressed the importance of citizen involvement in the fight against corruption and the need for comprehensive training on good governance and illicit financial flow.
Professor Ismail Ibrahim, Managing Director of UNILAG Consult, expressed the university’s enthusiasm for the collaboration, highlighting the program’s potential to reshape the national narrative on corruption.
Prof. Ayodele Atsenuwa, Chairman of HEDA’s Board of Trustees and UNILAG Deputy Vice-Chancellor, commended the initiative, noting that the diploma program would enhance participants’ capacity in anti-corruption, good governance, and illicit financial flow.
The 9-month program, covering core areas of good governance, anti-corruption, and illicit financial flow, offers a post-graduate diploma and targets various institutions and groups, including lawmakers, anti-corruption bodies, civil society, media, and academia.
The course, available both on-campus and virtually, combines disciplines like economics, law, and governance, providing practical tools to combat corruption and foster transparency and accountability.
