We launched this award to recognize youths who are living above corruption while fighting corruption in their communities. In the past, this award was given to youths who demonstrated these abilities in our various programs. But this year, the award will identify youths fighting corruption in their communities through public opinion. Such youths will be given the opportunity to share their stories online to inspire more youths. As incorruptible youths, they will commit to exposing and fighting any form of corruption that confronts them. Members of their communities will be encouraged to keep an eye on them and report them to us should they engage in any form of corrupt practice. CSAAE shall remove the award from any youth found guilty of any form of corruption.

CSAAE organizes annual ethics awards for undergraduates and secondary school students. One of the focal areas of the competition is corruption. The competition can be a scenario-based quiz on anti-corruption requiring contestants to provide solutions to corruption scenarios; experiential essay competition requiring contestants to share personal experiences of corruption and how they safely resisted the corrupt practices or a debate on forms of corruption. These contests are fantastic learning opportunities for thousands of young people that participate in the contests. The contests inspire viewers to resist corruption and the youths that win the awards are motivated to not only resist corruption but also to fight corruption. Apart from cash rewards, contest papers are also published in C-Journal, a journal of social development.
Issues on corruption is one of the focal areas of CSAAE Journal (C-Journal). CSAAE editors publish research articles that explore the origin and causes of corruption, effects of corruption and solutions to the problem of corruption.
Bribery is a form of corruption, and the Nigerian police force is notorious for bribery. Often, they target vulnerable youths and could shoot any that refuses to give them bribe. In fact, the brutality of Nigerian youths by the Nigerian police because of their refusal to give bribes to the Nigerian police officers was the reason for the “End Sars Protest.” In 2022, we launched the “Soro Soke Youth Anchors”, that is, the “Speak Up Youth Anchors” to engage the police on the issue of bribery and police brutality. We trained 89 youths from five states of Nigeria to engage the Nigerian police force on bribery. These youths met face to face with police chiefs to discuss the rising issue of police bribery. The youths were trained on how to safely resist police extortion and to report police officers extorting money from the youths. The youths were able to raise this awareness in their communities. For us this was a huge accomplishment because it was a great opportunity for youths to be equipped with the skills to safely resist corruption and fight against it.
