ICPC Boss Flags Off Three-Day Workshop, Says Illicit Financial Flows Rob Nigeria of Vital Resources

Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), Dr. Musa Adamu Aliyu, SAN, on Tuesday flagged off a combined training workshop on Illicit Financial Flows (IFFs) and Money Laundering, alongside an Anti-Corruption Leadership Series, at the Anti-Corruption Academy of Nigeria (ACAN) in Keffi, Nasarawa State.

The flag-off ceremony marked the commencement of an intensive capacity-building programme designed for public officers, civil servants and stakeholders across Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), aimed at bolstering the nation's fight against corruption, illicit financial flows and money laundering.

Speaking at the event, Dr. Aliyu declared that illicit financial flows continue to deprive Nigeria of the resources needed to fund development, warning that the scourge undermines economic growth, weakens governance and impoverishes ordinary citizens.

He noted that the benefits of IFFs accrue only to a privileged few, while the nation bears the high cost of lost revenue and diminished public services.

According to him, the workshop was convened to equip participants with the knowledge and skills required to detect, deter and report suspicious financial activities, thereby ensuring that the nation's wealth is retained and deployed for the benefit of all.

The ICPC Chairman affirmed the Commission's unwavering commitment to repositioning ACAN as a world-class learning institute capable of competing favourably with other anti-corruption institutions across the globe.

He stated that the Academy would be transformed into a centre of excellence for anti-corruption training, research and development, equipped to produce well-trained professionals with the requisite skills to confront emerging corruption challenges in Nigeria and beyond.

Dr. Aliyu stressed that the fight against corruption must not rest on enforcement alone, but must be complemented by routine training and capacity building of public and civil servants on best practices for combating the menace.

"Enforcement is only one leg of the fight against corruption. Sustainable anti-corruption requires prevention through knowledge, integrity and leadership. That is why we are investing in the training of public servants and other stakeholders, so they can understand the nature of corruption, illicit financial flows and money laundering, and apply global best practices in their service delivery," he said.

He therefore urged participants to take the workshop seriously, apply the knowledge gained, and become ambassadors of transparency, accountability and integrity in their respective organisations, so that the benefits of good governance may be felt across the country.

In addition to flagging off the workshop, the Chairman carried out an on-site assessment of the Academy's facilities to identify areas requiring urgent upgrade and improvement, in line with the Commission's vision of repositioning ACAN as a world-class institution.

He assured that the Commission would provide the necessary support, infrastructure, and partnerships to ensure the Academy meets international standards in anti-corruption training and education.

ICPC Ranks Among Nigeria’s Most Transparent Public Institutions, Improves Score to 80.13%

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has reinforced its standing as one of Nigeria’s leading public institutions in transparency and institutional integrity, recording an impressive 80.13 per cent in the 2026 Transparency and Integrity Index (TII).

The latest assessment by the Centre for Fiscal Transparency and Public Integrity (CeFTPI) placed the Commission second among 518 federal institutions assessed nationwide, and among only four institutions that attained the Index’s “Excellent” performance band of 70 per cent and above.

ICPC’s performance represents a further improvement on its 2025 rating, when the Commission scored 78.13 per cent and placed third among 575 institutions. Its score rose by two percentage points to 80.13 per cent in 2026, moving the Commission from third to second position nationally.

Welcoming the rating, the Chairman of the ICPC, Dr. Musa Adamu Aliyu, SAN, expressed delight at the Commission’s performance, describing the outcome as an encouragement to deepen the institutional reforms and transparency measures being implemented by the Commission.

“I am delighted that the progress we are making as a Commission is being independently recognised. For an anti-corruption agency, we understand that we must not only demand transparency, accountability and integrity from other public institutions; we must also demonstrate these values in our own systems and operations,” the Chairman said.

Dr. Aliyu, however, stressed that the Commission would not be complacent about the achievement, pledging that greater attention would be devoted to improving performance across all the thematic areas covered by the Transparency and Integrity Index.

“This rating is an encouragement for us to do more. We will carefully examine our performance across all the thematic areas, identify where improvements are required and strengthen the necessary systems. Our objective is to perform even better in the 2027 assessment and continue to demonstrate the standards of transparency and integrity that we expect from other public institutions,” he added.

The Chairman further commended the management and staff of the Commission for their contributions to the achievement and charged them to regard the rating as an incentive to further strengthen transparency, accountability and professionalism in the discharge of the Commission’s mandate.

The result is particularly significant against the backdrop of generally low transparency ratings across the federal public sector. According to the 2026 assessment, only eight of the 518 institutions assessed scored above 50 per cent, while only four attained the “Excellent” benchmark of 70 per cent and above.

The Index measures the performance of public institutions in areas covering the disclosure of financial information, procurement and contracting information, human resources, anti-corruption measures and mechanisms for citizens’ engagement.

It also assesses the availability of budget and financial records, recruitment and staff information, anti-corruption and whistleblowing policies, as well as avenues through which citizens can obtain information and participate in public processes.

The Commission’s latest performance sustains an upward trajectory in the annual assessment. In 2025, ICPC placed third with 78.13 per cent, behind the National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency (NOSDRA) and the Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC). In 2026, its score improved to 80.13 per cent, lifting the Commission to second position nationally.

The achievement also reinforces the Commission’s longstanding position that anti-corruption institutions must lead by example by strengthening internal systems that promote transparency, accountability and ethical conduct. Dr. Aliyu has previously emphasised that transparency and accountability should operate as practical institutional principles, supported by innovation, strong systems and public participation.

The 2026 Transparency and Integrity Index was unveiled in Abuja on Monday, 28 September 2026, in the presence of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume; the Director-General of the Bureau of Public Service Reforms, Dasuki Ibrahim Arabi; and representatives of government institutions and civil society organisations.

CeFTPI established the Transparency and Integrity Index in 2021 as an annual evidence-based assessment of public institutions, with an emphasis on proactive disclosure, accountability, citizens’ access to information and institutional mechanisms for preventing corruption.

ICPC INAUGURATES ANTI-CORRUPTION CLUBS IN FIVE SCHOOLS, MARKS KOSO GRAMMAR SCHOOL'S 50TH ANNIVERSARY

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) on Thursday inaugurated its National Schools Integrity Programme (NSIP) and Students’ Anti-Corruption Clubs (SACs) in Koso Community Grammar School, Iseyin, and four other secondary schools, timing the exercise to coincide with Koso’s Golden Jubilee celebration.

The dual event drew government officials, traditional rulers, teachers, alumni and students, with goodwill messages centred on character development, integrity, responsible citizenship and anti-corruption awareness.
In a video message, the ICPC Chairman, Dr. Musa Adamu Aliyu, congratulated Koso Community Grammar School on 50 years of service, describing the milestone as an opportunity to celebrate not just its history, but also the values it had instilled in generations of students.
While the Commission is widely known for its investigative, preventive and enforcement functions, he said, tackling corruption also requires shaping the values, attitudes and choices that influence individual behaviour.
He said the NSIP was designed to give young Nigerians “the values, knowledge and courage to recognise, reject and resist corrupt practices,” noting that corruption extends beyond the misuse of public funds to include dishonesty, examination malpractice, bribery, cheating, deception and abuse of trust.
With the clubs now inaugurated across the five schools, members will take part in continuous value-based activities and can progress into Anti-Corruption Vanguards at the tertiary level and later into Anti-Corruption Community Development Service (CDS) groups in partnership with the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
The Chairman said the goal was not to frighten children with tales of corruption, but to prepare them to make responsible choices, urging students to reject dishonest shortcuts because, in his words, “a certificate obtained through dishonesty cannot build a successful nation.”
Koso’s selection for the inauguration also tied into the ICPC’s MAMMILL — My Alma Mater, My Integrity Legacy — initiative, as the school is the alma mater of the Commission’s Director of Public Education, Mr. Demola Bakare, FSI.
Bakare told the students that he once sat in the same classrooms and regarded the school as proof that the classroom could be a starting point for national service.
He urged the students to pursue their ambitions diligently, avoid examination malpractice and cheating, and recognise that sound character must accompany academic achievement.
He also encouraged them to remain focused on their dreams while resisting shortcuts and other practices that could undermine their future.
In his welcome address, the President of the Alumni Association, Chief Taofeeq Adegboyega Adeyoke, FCA, thanked the Oyo State Government, traditional institution, teachers and alumni for their support.
He noted that the school, founded in 1976, had produced graduates across public service, the military, industry and academia, and appealed for continued support for the development of the institution.
The Principal, Mr. Raheem Sule Ademola, commended the Alumni Association for its past contributions and appealed for further support towards perimeter fencing, construction of an auditorium and provision of science laboratory equipment.
He also urged the students to remain focused on their studies, pursue academic excellence and uphold the good reputation of the school.
The ICPC reaffirmed its commitment to preventive anti-corruption education through the NSIP, SACs and MAMMILL, while congratulating Koso Community Grammar School on its Golden Jubilee.
The Commission also called for sustained collaboration among schools, families, alumni, government institutions and communities in nurturing a generation of young Nigerians committed to integrity, accountability and responsible citizenship.
