The Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, Musa Aliyu says the commission has recovered over N13 billion diverted public funds in September 2024.
Aliyu, who disclosed this during the launch of the ICPC’s 2024-2028 strategic action plan on Wednesday in Abuja, stressed that the Commission has been working relentlessly to fulfil its mandate.
The ICPC boss who did not reveal where exactly the funds were recovered from, revealed that the Commission is digitalising its operations which would position it as a leader in leveraging technology to combat corruption.
“Over the past year, the ICPC has made significant progress in discharging its mandate; for example, we recovered over N13 billion in diverted public funds in September 2024 alone. This is just one of the many ways we have worked tirelessly to fulfil our mandate.
“We are also embarking on ICT reforms that will digitalise our operations and enable more efficient investigations, case management, and internal processes.
“This transformation will position the Commission as a leader in leveraging technology to combat corruption, keeping us one step ahead of criminal activities in the digital age.
“The anti-graft agency is developing a specialised curriculum aimed at enhancing the enforcement capacity of its personnel.
Aliyu added that the ICPC had intensified efforts to identify institutional and administrative vulnerabilities through System Studies and Corruption Risk Assessments,” Aliyu said.
