    Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), Dr. Musa Adamu Aliyu, SAN, has urged stakeholders from all sectors to collaborate in fostering accountability and combating procurement fraud in Nigeria.

    Demola Bakare, the Director, Public Enlightenment and Education/
    Spokesperson for the Commission disclosed this in a statement signed on Wednesday.

    Speaking at the Close-out and Journalism Award Ceremony of the International Centre for Investigative Journalism (ICIR) Open Contract Reporting Project (OCRP) in Abuja, Dr. Aliyu underscored the pivotal role of procurement in public service delivery.

    The ICPC Boss declared that transparent and honest procurement processes are vital for enabling governments to deliver infrastructure, healthcare, education, and other essential services to citizens.

    Dr. Aliyu identified procurement fraud—such as irregular contract awards, violations of the Public Procurement Act, and other infractions—as a major threat to effective governance and efficient use of public funds.

    He stressed the urgent need to address these issues to create a system of accountability and ensure the optimal utilization of resources in the country.

    Dr. Aliyu said that the ICPC had implemented several initiatives to tackle these challenges, including the System Study and Review, the Constituency and Executive Tracking Initiative (CEPTI), and collaborations with civil society organizations and the media.

    According to Dr. Aliyu, these measures have yielded significant results, including the recovery of ₦50.37 billion between 2019 and 2023 from contractors who abandoned project sites.

    Many of these contractors were also compelled to return and complete their projects.

    Dr. Aliyu proposed further actions to curb procurement fraud, including fostering integrity among public service leaders, strengthening oversight mechanisms, strictly enforcing procurement laws, and imposing penalties for violations.

    The Executive Director of ICIR, Mr. Dayo Aiyetan, emphasized the critical need to tackle budgetary and procurement fraud to fight corruption in Nigeria.

    Mr. Aiyetan explained that the Open Contract Reporting Project “is a key complement to the government’s accountability agenda, providing investigative reporting that exposes corruption in the procurement sector”.

    Both leaders reaffirmed their commitment to building a transparent and accountable public procurement system, essential for Nigeria’s development and the well-being of its citizens.
