The association also added that it will take the anti graft to campuses by recovering all funds stolen by corrupt former public officials and civil servants.

In a statement by the Acting President/National Convention Chairman, Prince Miaphen, the group also noted that corruption had for long remained the bane of Nigeria’s development.

The statement read, “We strongly commend the zest and diligence of the Buhari administration in the war against corruption as it has made it resoundingly clear that indeed a new no-nonsense sheriff is in town and there is no hiding place for any former or present corrupt official.

“We are fully aware that some trepid and disgruntled corrupt individuals and organisations are stopping at nothing to discredit and sabotage the ongoing war against corruption."

Urging the president not to relent on the war, the statement said, “We intend to partner with Mr. President by taking the anti-corruption war to the campuses.

“The quest to revamp our educational sector must also integrate the need to stamp corruption out of the corridors of our Ivory Towers which has frustrated all efforts to bring our academic institutions to competitive standards,” NANS added.
