TV Series and movies, Bimbo Akintola has joined the Creative Youth Initiative
Against Corruption (CYIAC) as its Goodwill Ambassador, reports ITRealms.
Bimbo’s appointment, ITRealms gathered is to
help raise global awareness for the promotion of culture of integrity, curb
corruption among children, youth and adults through creative, innovation and
entrepreneurship development in Nigeria and Africa.

corruption; which is the biggest impediments to achieving Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs).
Also, CYIAC says its strategy is to promote
creativity, develop talents and build confidence whilst encouraging culture of
integrity. At CYIAC, children and youth are provided with capabilities they
require to become economically productive, develop sustainable livelihoods,
contribute to peace, justice and strong institutions and take bold steps in
creating the future they desire through creative thinking and innovation.
