ICPC Chairman Calls for Tech-Driven Anti-Corruption Strategies

During a conference held at the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) headquarters in Abuja, Dr. Musa Adamu Aliyu, the ICPC Chairman, stated that combating 21st-century corruption requires innovative, technology-driven strategies rather than outdated methods.

He outlined three key priorities: first, to strengthen integrity in Nigeria by instilling values such as honesty and discipline in children; second, to promote digital responsibility through the Citizen Digital Responsibility Initiative (CDRI) to combat cybercrime and misinformation; and third, to sustain funding for the newly launched Ethical Endowment Fund (EEF) aimed at providing resources for ethical education. Dr.

Aliyu stressed that the ICPC's enforcement remains a core mandate, and building a culture of integrity is essential. The conference also featured remarks from Dr.

Uyim Akpabio, who noted the urgent need to align technological advancements with ethical values to maintain public trust.
