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.
