This unit was established to reinforce transparency, promote accountability, and combat corruption within UBEC’s operations. At the inauguration ceremony, ICPC representatives emphasized the significance of the ACTU in fostering a culture of integrity and ethical standards within the education sector. The unit is expected to work closely with UBEC leadership to implement anti-corruption policies, conduct regular compliance audits, and provide ongoing awareness training for staff, ensuring adherence to best practices in public service management.
