Even though the office started its work years after the establishment of an independent governmental body (Federal Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission) which was capable of investigating and prosecuting, checking and preventing corruption and other improprieties, to control and promote good conduct in the society at the national level by Proclamation No. 235/1993, it has been discharging its responsibilities in the University, in carrying out the task of preventing corruption and building good morals.
