Young Against Corruption | Let's Kick Corruption Out of Nigeria

Corruption happens everywhere, both in developed and developing countries, and affects everyone, both rich and poor. The scale and type of corruption depends on how it happens, where it happens, who engages in it, and who is affected by it. Corruption is a dynamic concept, largely determined by political, economic, social and institutional contexts.

Youth Crime Watch Nigeria works in preventive measures area of anti-corruption. Preventive Measures promote integrity, accountability, transparency and oversight. We work to educate young people and adult citizens on how to prevent corruption in their communities.

Corruption can strike anywhere. I have seen how corruption hits the poor, the weak and the most vulnerable of all. It can deny people access to health services, schools and economic opportunities. It can deny them hope of a better future. António Guterres - UN Secretary General

Integrity

What We Do to
Act Against Corruption

Youth Crime Watch uses its Leadership Accelerator Program to train and build capacity of young people and women in schools and communities in order to act against any act of corruption and monitor public projects and governments to prevent corruption.

More than 200 students and young people took part in our Youth against Crime and Corruption Campaign. Guided by experts, they learned how to gauge the negative impact of corruption on the society and discussed further prospects for anti-corruption reforms in Nigeria and how to encourage zero tolerance of any kind of corrupt or dishonest activity.

Prevention Tips

Six scam-savvy tips for avoiding online traps

1. Check the Web Address (or URL) Communications from popular social websites, online payment processors, or IT administrators are commonly used to lure in the unsuspecting public. The web address for the phishing site may closely resemble the authentic website. It may even contain the address of the authentic website, but also includes code to reroute the traffic to a false website.
2. Stay alert and skeptical

Stay alert and skeptical of people unexpectedly contacting you by email or phone and asking about personal information. Only open emails, links, and attachments from trustworthy sources.
3. Know who your providers

Know who your providers are for your hosting, email, and internet. Also know how these providers will be contacting you.

4. Protect your computer

Protect your computer with spam filters, anti-virus software, and firewalls. For optimal protection, make sure to keep these programs up to date.
5. Act immediately

Act immediately if you think you have been a victim of an online scam. If you have provided account numbers, PINS, or passwords to an unidentified source, notify the companies that you have accounts with right away.
6. Make a report

Report any incident of online scam to appropriate law enforcement agencies such EFCC, Nigeria Police or the appropriate anti-fraud department of your financial institution.
