The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has reaffirmed its commitment to promoting ethical leadership and accountability in Nigeria, receiving accolades from Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) for its collaborative efforts.
The ICPC Chairman, Dr Musa Adamu Aliyu, SAN, represented by Mr Kingsley Obi, a deputy director, gave the charge at the National Integrity Summit organised by Committed Advocates of Integrity Initiative (CADII) in partnership with the Commission.
He said:“As we gather to discuss the importance of ethical leadership, let us strive to reaffirm our commitment to building a corruption-free society where leaders prioritize the well-being of citizens and the nation.”
Aliyu explained that the ICPC’s mandate and projects, including CEPTI and NACC, have strengthened transparency and accountability mechanisms.
He commended CADII and other partners for advancing a culture of integrity across institutions.
Earlier, the Convener, Comrade Charles Agubor, urged young leaders to let their actions reflect moral principles and selflessness.
“The future of our nation rests on the shoulders of young leaders like you, and it is your integrity that will determine how far Nigeria will go,” Agubor stated.
Other speakers, Dr Daniel Omofoman and Chief Dominic Ogakwu, lauded the ICPC for its responsiveness and continuous partnership with CSOs on anti-corruption initiatives.
