The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, says it recovered over N13 billion diverted public funds in September 2024.
The Chairman of the Commission, Musa Aliyu, made this disclosure during the launch of the ICPC’s 2024-2028 strategic action plan on Wednesday in Abuja.
Aliyu, who stressed that the Commission has been working relentlessly to fulfil its mandate, did not reveal where exactly the funds were recovered from.
The ICPC boss also revealed that the Commission is digitalising its operations which would position it as a leader in leveraging technology to combat corruption.
According to him, 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.
“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,” Aliyu said.
