ICPC and Power Ministry Collaborate for Transparency

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) and the Federal Ministry of Power have committed to strengthening their collaboration to promote transparency and improve service delivery in Nigeria's electricity sector. This commitment was made during a visit by Joseph Olasunkanmi Tegbe, Senior Official of the Ministry of Power, to the ICPC headquarters in Abuja.

Tegbe emphasized the need for the ICPC's guidance in addressing corruption and managing public resources effectively within the power sector. He noted that 30 percent of the challenges in the sector are linked to vandalism and highlighted the importance of the ICPC's support in enforcing anti-corruption procedures.

The Minister expressed optimism that the collaboration would help sustain improvements in electricity generation, which has exceeded 5,000 megawatts. Clifford Okwudili Oparaodu, representing the ICPC, acknowledged the Ministry's recognition of the ICPC as a strategic partner and reaffirmed the commission's commitment to safeguarding public resources and enhancing accountability in the power sector.
