Integrity Club is a small group of friends from the same workplace, class, School, University or community who voluntarily commit to meet regularly to help each other continuously to improve the quality and integrity of their Individual and group performance and behavior especially in the values of Patriotism, Integrity and Service Excellence in close coordination with proper authorities and leadership of the Integrity Club.
Three phenomena that have changed nations worldwide and impact the Integrity Clubs namely:
Globalization and Internationalization have the twin contradictory tendency of not only drawing out common elements in systems, structures, and processes but also highlighting the differences among them, i.e. they lead to homogeneity and heterogeneity.
Democratization on the other hand, has led communities everywhere to clamour for good governance practices that promote the core principals of transparency, accountability, responsibility, inclusion and devolution in national life and the body politic.
After your health, it’s said that the most important thing you have is your integrity, because once it’s gone — it’s gone. Along with the awful feeling of not wanting to look at yourself in the mirror, word spreads, & you might find yourself very unpopular all of a sudden.
