TAF Twitter Space | The Impact of Corruption on Nigeria

On Saturday, 11 October 2025, TAF Nigeria, a Country Chapter of The African Federation will host a powerful virtual discussion on X focusing on the topic “The Impact of Corruption on Nigeria’s Educational Sector.” Moderated by Onyenemere Oluchi Mary, TAF Nigeria’s Deputy Wellness Representative, the event will bring together governance, communications and wellness experts to unpack how corruption undermines access to quality education and how collective action can drive reform.

The discussion will feature:
Mr. Vincent Kalu Otah, TAF Nigeria Head of Governance Representative. He will explore how embezzlement and ghost workers cripple educational budgets and will share practical accountability systems such as open contracting and community scorecards.

Mr. Omiko Awa, TAF Nigeria Head of Communications. He will focus on how storytelling, transparency and public engagement can empower citizens to expose corruption and demand reform.

Dr. Allan Lusalalira, CEO of TAF Wellness. He will connect the issue of corruption to social and human wellness, emphasizing that restoring integrity in education means rebuilding trust, dignity and opportunity for Africa’s youth.

This event will examine real examples of how mismanagement diverts vital funds, leaving students without resources, teachers demoralised and communities disconnected from systems meant to empower them. Yet, the discussion will also be a call to hope, outlining low-cost, high-impact interventions such as termly financial disclosures, school-based monitoring committees and local audit training.

Through this engagement, TAF will continue advancing its vision of an Africa where education systems reflect the values of Ubuntu, integrity and shared responsibility. By promoting transparency and accountability, Nigeria can reclaim its classrooms and ensure that every child learns in an environment built on fairness and opportunity.
