Kogi State Government has continued its campaign against internet fraud with a sensitization programme held at Faith Academy, Lokoja, aimed at promoting integrity and responsible digital conduct among young people.
The advocacy team, led by the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Fraud and Internet Matters, Hon. Oluseyi Kelvin Eleta, was warmly received by the Principal of Faith Academy, Mrs. Abraham, who commended the initiative and reaffirmed the school’s commitment to promoting sound moral values among its students.
During the programme, students were educated on the dangers and consequences of internet fraud, the importance of ethical conduct both online and offline, and the need to embrace legitimate means of achieving success. The interactive session encouraged students to become ambassadors of integrity within their school and communities.
At the end of the sensitization exercise, 72 students voluntarily enrolled as members of the Anti-Internet Fraud Club, demonstrating their commitment to promoting honesty and rejecting all forms of cybercrime. Educational materials to support the club’s activities and meetings were presented to the school management to facilitate continuous engagement on the campaign.
Members of the advocacy team included the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Private Education Institutions, Hon. Clement Daudu; the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Government House Legal Matters, Hon. Yetunde Olubunmi Hamza; Hon. Avosuahi Amodu, SSA on Human Trafficking; and Barr. Joy Akinola, President of the Africa Women Lawyers Association (AWLA), Kogi State Chapter.
The outreach forms part of the Kogi State Government’s ongoing efforts to educate young people on the social, legal, and economic consequences of internet fraud while encouraging a culture of honesty, hard work, and responsible citizenship.
