FG vows to fight corruption with new strategic plan
The minister of justice and attorney general of the federation, Lateef Fagbemi, SAN, has reaffirmed President Bola Tinubu’s administration’s commitment to fighting corruption.
Speaking at the unveiling of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) Strategic Action Plan 2024-2028 in Abuja on Wednesday, Mr Fagbemi described corruption as a cancer that eroded societal fabric and necessitated collective action.
Mr Fagbemi noted that the strategic plan launched marked a significant milestone in combating corruption and promoting transparency.
The plan, he said, would serve as a clear roadmap for the ICPC to enhance operations, deepen stakeholder collaboration, and address emerging challenges.
He assured the ministry of justice’s unwavering support in providing the necessary legal framework and resources.
Mt Fagbemi commended the ICPC leadership’s diligence and stakeholders’ contributions to the plan’s development.
President of the Court of Appeal, Hon. Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem, emphasised that fighting corruption was everyone’s responsibility.
She urged Nigerians to maintain a positive attitude, recognising that corruption extended beyond financial misconduct to include dereliction of duty.
ICPC Strategic Action Plan 2024-2028 focuses on combating corruption through innovative methods and sustained action.
The commission also launched its Ethicspod programme, a bi-weekly podcast aimed at amplifying anti-corruption efforts through digital media.
