In a resolute stance against corruption, the Managing Director of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), Mr. Sule Abdulaziz, unveils a Preventive Guide Handbook.
The handbook, presented by the agency’s Anti-Corruption and Transparency Unit (ACTU), aims to educate staff and prevent corrupt practices within the organization.
Speaking at the event in Abuja, Abdulaziz emphasizes the severity of corruption and the TCN management’s commitment to eradicating this menace. The ACTU, established for this purpose, spearheads the agency’s anti-corruption efforts.
The Managing Director, represented by Mr. Justin Ododo, the Executive Director of Human Resources and Corporate Services, underscores the handbook’s importance in the ongoing fight against corruption. He urges staff to actively engage with the guide, internalize its content, and apply its principles in their daily activities, emphasizing the preventive aspect rather than reactive measures.
Abdulaziz highlights the handbook’s role in fostering a workplace culture resistant to corruption, emphasizing the need for its practical application by the TCN staff. He commends the ACTU team for compiling the guide and pledges the management’s unwavering support in fulfilling its responsibilities.
