On Wednesday, the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) disclosed that over ₦13 billion in diverted public funds were retrieved in September 2024 alone.
The Chairman of the ICPC, Musa Aliyu, during the launch of the commission’s 2024-2028 strategic action plan in Abuja made this disclosure, saying the anti-corruption agency has been working to fulfill its mandate.
Aliyu noted, “Over the past year, the ICPC has made significant progress in discharging its mandate; for example, we recovered over ₦13 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.”
