The Resident Commissioner, Katsina State Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC), Mustapha Abubakar Wala has solicited close partnership with Al-Qalam University in achieving the core mandate of the Commission.
The Commissioner stated that he decided to embark on familiarisation visit to higher institutions in the state to introduce himself and the Katsina Office of the Commission which was newly established.
Describing Al-Qalam University as important stakeholder, Mustapha Abubakar called for close partnership between the two organisations in the fight against corruption and related practices.
Responding, Vice-Chancellor, Al-Qalam University, Prof. Nasiru Musa Yauri said that the Commission has a herculean task ahead, observing that the nation has allowed corruption to run in all spheres of life for too long.
