Executive Chairman Human and Environmental Development Agenda, (HEDA) Mr Olanrewaju Suraju  has called on parents  to take active measures in complementing governments efforts  at eliminating corrupt practices among the younger generation in Nigeria.

He made this known at a 2-day summit which began in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital on Tuesday also drew a strong link between corruption and economic and political injustices

The summit with the theme Corruption and Nigerian Youth: A review of United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime's Second Survey on Corruption in Nigeria 2019 was organized by the Human and Environmental Development Agenda, (HEDA Resource Centre) with the support of United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime, (UNODC), the MacArthur Foundation, National Bureau of Statistics, (NBS), TUGAR, Ptcij  among many and the National Orientation Agency (NOA).

This is against the background of increasing youth involvement in illicit ambitions and acquisition of funds and assets mostly through cybercrimes, many times prompted by their parents. The trend has continued to negatively affect the image of Nigerians in the international community. Billions of funds are stolen in Nigeria through cyber-related crimes, many perpetrated by young peoples

HEDA Chairman said "we bring together stakeholders with the focus on young people. Critical for us is the need to have young people taking over the campaign against corruption. We seek good governance and transparency in Governance as conditions for peace and prosperity in Nigeria."

He said to fight corruption, Nigeria needs to put the political and electoral system in order. He said Nigeria remains a classic example where corruption continues to stunt the country's economic and political renaissance. "It is for us to bring young people around the table to have the conversation on how to make Nigeria corruption-free,"Suraju said

Speaking at the event, Mr Ridwan Sulaimon, Nurudeen Ogbara and Dr Adebusuyi Adeniran made presentations on corruption and the younger generation of Nigerians. In the participants' recommendations, the delegates called for high moral values and ethical standards among Nigerian youths to deal with the country's floundering moral fortunes while Professor Shehu Abdullahi of UNODC said young people should take an exceptional responsibility in the collective campaign against corruption
