CITAD Honors Champions of ‘Report a Project’ Program
TECHDIGEST – The Centre for Information Technology and Development (CITAD) has honored six university students from across Nigeria for their remarkable efforts in combating corruption and promoting sustainable development in the country.
The awards were presented as part of the 9th edition of the ‘Report a Project’ program organized by CITAD over the past three years.
The ‘Report a Project’ competition aims to inspire young individuals to actively fight against corruption by energetically working towards reducing it to its barest minimum in Nigeria.
According to PRIME TIME NEWS, the initiative encourages students to identify and report instances of abandoned projects in their constituencies, thereby fostering transparency in all sectors of governance.
After the event, CITAD’s Campaigns and Communication Officer, Ali Sabo, spoke to journalists and disclosed that, contrary to the center’s tradition of awarding only the top three winners, all six participants were recognized in this edition.

He assured CITAD that they would sustain their commitment to reporting such projects in their respective areas until transparent governance is achieved throughout Nigeria.
The winners of the 9th edition of the ‘Report a Project’ competition were each awarded a Huawei Y6 Pro Android smartphone.
