The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) made impressive strides in September, recovering more than N446 billion and restraining over N142 billion in forfeiture alongside N30 billion in cash. Malam Lanre Issa-Onilu, Director-General of the National Orientation Agency (NOA), shared these highlights during the Monthly National Joint Security Briefing in Abuja, calling it a powerful sign Nigeria’s battle against corruption is gaining ground.
In one month, the ICPC investigated 33 cases, securing three convictions and receiving 19 petitions through public channels. It also engaged over 41,000 individuals in 77 sensitisation workshops, set up eight Anti-Corruption Transparency Units in government departments, and ramped up social media and media presence to strengthen accountability. These efforts underscore the ICPC’s ongoing commitment to a corruption-free, transparent Nigeria.
