The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), says it recently blocked the diversion of N1.6 billion in public funds using technology.
ICPC Chairman, Musa Aliyu, SAN, disclosed this during a visit by NASENI Chief, Khalil Halilu.
While the ministry involved wasn’t revealed, Aliyu stressed the need for smart approaches in fighting corruption. He proposed a joint innovation task team with NASENI to track public funds and monitor procurement processes.
The two agencies are also working on a secure whistleblower platform to improve intelligence gathering.
NASENI expressed readiness to support the initiative and help digitalize internal processes across MDAs.
