The Federal Executive Council (FEC), has approved the National Ethics and Integrity Policy, a creation of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).
The policy, which was co-sponsored by the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF) and National Orientation Agency (NOA), is an offshoot of the National Values Curriculum developed by ICPC.
The approval was disclosed by ICPC in a statement signed by its spokeswoman, Mrs Azuka Ogogua, yesterday, saying: \u201cThe journey towards developing the policy on Ethics and Integrity for Nigeria commenced when the ICPC developed the much-acclaimed National Values Curriculum for the teaching of 12 identified core values in primary, secondary and tertiary institutions across the nation.
\u201cThe Curriculum, approved by the National Council on Education in 2004 and infused into existing school subjects is being taught as part of those subjects since 2007\/2008 academic session, with a Teachers\u2019 Guide launched in 2012 to assist teachers in the effective communication of the values.\u201d
According to the statement, ICPC Chairman, Prof Bolaji Owasanoye, said the development of the National Ethics and Integrity Policy is \u201ca befitting follow-up to the National Values Curriculum initiative.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
