“The broad aim of the partnership with Al-Habibiyyah is to collectively undertake anti-corruption activities to enhance good governance in Nigeria.
“This partnership will enable us carry out functions under any agreed anti-corruption projects/programmes concentrating on the area of competence of each partner,” Prof Mohammed said.
Sheikh Adeyemi said Al-Habibiyyah, through it’s anti-corruption Project ‘EAT-FIn (Encouraging Accountability and Transparency through Faith-based Intervention), had embarked on series of campaigns to change the narrative on corruption.
Adeyemi said Al-Habibiyyah was also collaborating with anti-corruption agencies like Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) and faith-based organisations to get the message to the grassroots.
The cleric urged political and religious leaders to remain upright, shun corruption and provide for the masses.
