About Onyinye Ough
Onyinye Ough is a Nigerian international development practitioner specializing in anti-corruption and service delivery. Onyinye recognized that there was a problem in Nigeria with many corrupt practices having become culturally acceptable and sought to put together a series of books for children to help educate them on the impact of corruption. In 2018 she established the Nigerian based Non-Government Organisation 'Step Up for Social Development and Empowerment' (Step Up Nigeria) with the aim to help strengthen accountability on government delivery and tackle some of the corruption challenges.
