The African Union (AU), National Open University of Nigeria Anti-Corruption and Transparency Unit (NOUN-ACTU), and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) will hold a joint celebration of the 2025 African Union Anti-Corruption Day.
The event will be commemorated under the theme ‘Effective Whistle-blower Protection Mechanism: A Critical Tool in the Fight Against Corruption.’
It is slated to be held on Friday, July 11, 2025, by 10 a.m. at the University Central Library, Gabriel Afolabi Building, 3rd floor, NOUN headquarters, Jabi, Abuja.
The AU Anti-Corruption Day is commemorated annually on the 11th of July as designated by the African Union through the adoption of the AU Convention on Preventing and Combating Corruption in recognition of the massive progress in the war against corruption on the African continent and the need to reflect on the approaches to end the scourge.
