ICPC Recognized for Excellence in Combating Corruption

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has been recognized for its institutional performance in the fight against corruption in Nigeria. This recognition came after an independent assessment conducted by a Coalition of Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), which identified the ICPC and the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) as notable performers in public accountability and service delivery.

The assessment was presented at a civil society roundtable in Lagos and focused on selected Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) of the federal government, evaluating transparency, institutional efficiency, accountability, and contributions to public service delivery. A report published by NewsNowOnline on October 24, 2026, acknowledged the ICPC's efforts in protecting public resources and promoting integrity within the public service.

Under the leadership of its Chairman, Dr. Musa Adamu Aliyu, SAN, the ICPC has emphasized systemic interventions to strengthen compliance mechanisms and reduce opportunities for corruption.
