They made this call at a behavioural change conference themed “The Future of Anti-corruption Interventions in Nigeria: Scaling Evidence-based Behavior Change Solutions,” in Abuja on Tuesday.

The experts emphasied the need for strategic communication to promote anti-corruption behaviours noting that building a culture of integrity hinges on reshaping behaviors and expectations around corruption.

In his keynote speech titled “Nigeria at a Critical Crossroad: Securing the Future with Enduring Anti-corruption Policies,” Dr. Joe Abah, Country Director of DAI Global and former Director-General of the Bureau of Public Service Reforms, stated that corruption distorts economic growth, undermines public institutions, exacerbates social inequalities, scares away foreign investors, and under-develops human capacity.
