The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) revealed a staggering ₦13 billion in government funds was stolen in September 2024 alone.
This alarming information was shared by ICPC Chairman, Dr. Musa Adamu Aliyu, during the launch of the commission’s 2024-2028 Strategic Action Plan (SAP) in Abuja.
Dr. Aliyu highlighted the ICPC’s success in recovering the diverted funds as part of its mandate.
“In the past year, the ICPC has made significant strides in fulfilling its mission. Notably, we recovered over ₦13 billion in misappropriated public funds just in September 2024.”
To bolster its enforcement capabilities, the ICPC is developing a specialized training curriculum for its personnel. This initiative aims to equip officers with the necessary skills and expertise to tackle corruption cases effectively and professionally.
In response to the findings of the third national corruption survey, the ICPC is amplifying its efforts to engage citizens, civil society, and the media in the fight against corruption.
The commission’s forthcoming EthicsPod digital community seeks to promote a culture of transparency and accountability across the nation.
