The Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC), Dr MUSA ADAMU ALIYU has initiated a collaboration with the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) to strengthen ties and align efforts to rid Nigeria of corruption in the public sector.

This collaboration was agreed upon when the ICPC Chairman, in the company of the management team of the Commission, paid a courtesy visit to the Acting Chairman of CCB, ALIYU MURTALA KANKIA in Abuja.

Speaking at the occasion, ALIYU stated that the visit was borne out of the desire of the Commission under his leadership to work with relevant stakeholders to achieve giant strides in the federal government’s renewed hope agenda of fighting corruption.

The ICPC boss further stressed that President BOLA TINUBU had an honest commitment to the fight against corruption and that this could be achieved through collaboration and partnership with the CCB, which he described as the most powerful and important anti-corruption agency in Nigeria recognised and mentioned in the 1999 Constitution.

In his remarks, the Acting Chairman of CCB stated that the visit was a step in the right direction as the fight against the menace of corruption required cooperation and understanding as displayed by the ICPC Chairman and his team.

He expressed the readiness of the Bureau to continue to forward relevant cases to ICPC as it had always done based on findings in carrying out their assignment on assets evaluation and assessments of public servants.
