ICPC urges Nigerians to reject 'everyone is doing it' mindset on corruption

Nigeria's Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) is challenging a pervasive mindset that corruption is an inescapable part of life. The commission is actively urging citizens to abandon the idea that "everyone is doing it."

ICPC officials warn that this widespread perception, often used as an excuse for illicit behavior, significantly undermines the collective will to resist corrupt practices. By framing corruption as a common, almost normalized, activity, individuals may feel less compelled to uphold ethical standards.

The commission's stance emphasizes the need for a societal shift in attitude. It seeks to foster an environment where corruption is seen not as an inevitability, but as a harmful act that requires active opposition from all segments of society. This initiative aims to strengthen the public's resolve and commitment to fighting corruption at all levels.
