Mrs Azuka Ogugua, staff of the commission`s Education Department, made the call when she received students of Government Secondary School, Kubwa, on Tuesday in Abuja.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), reports that the students, members of the school’s Anti Corruption Club were on Excursion Visit to the commission.

Ogugua also charged youths to imbibe honesty, decency, diligence, reliability, national values and good neighbourliness.

She called on youths across the country to join anti-corruption clubs in their schools, adding that they should help to fight the menace so that it does not destroy their future.

Mr Geoffrey Anumve, Head of the commission`s Education Department who received the students on behalf of its Chairman, said the commission was poised to taking the corruption crusade to schools.

This, he said, was to ensure that students distasted corruption from their youth.

``I believe that if you start hating corruption now that you are young, you will grow up to become better citizens and good leaders.
