    The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) and the London-based Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) have signed a historic Memorandum of Understanding, (MoU) to tackle corruption in the public sector.

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

    Humsimedia Online gathered that the MoU is with a recognition that needs for increased transparency and accountability to address environmental crime.

    On Friday 20 September, the ICPC Chairman, Dr. Musa Aliyu, SAN and Justin Gosling, EIA’s Securing Criminal Justice Programme Lead, signed the MoU.

    The MoU now opens the door for increased cooperation and information sharing between the respective organisations.

    Dr. Aliyu recognised the importance of addressing corruption within the field of environmental crime.

    He said: “Environmental crimes such as wildlife trafficking, pollution and those contributing to climate change pose a major threat to Nigerians.

    “The role of public sector corruption is unacceptable and ICPC looks forward to cooperating with the EIA to improve our response to this important area of criminal activity.”

    EIA has been working for almost five years in Nigeria and in West and Central Africa, developing the capacity of investigators, raising awareness and understanding among prosecutors and the judiciary, forging relationships with the public and private financial sectors and assessing and developing new endangered species legislation, in addition to supporting Civil Society Organisations in the region.

    Gosling said the new partnership was critical to evolving the response to environmental crime in the region.

    He said: “Environmental criminal networks are driven by profit and financial gain and the role of corruption in public sectors cannot be underestimated.

    “We welcome this groundbreaking agreement with the ICPC and look forward to developing strategies together to address wildlife trafficking and other forms of environmental crime.”

    EIA’s projects in West and Central Africa are supported by the US Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, the Defra Illegal Wildlife Trade Challenge Fund, the Pangolin Crisis Fund and the Full Circle Foundation.
