The Nation Newspaper ICPC traces ₦219.8b allocation across 176 MDAs over five years
At a press conference held in Lagos on Tuesday, April 30, the ICPC chairman, Musa Adamu Aliyu, disclosed that the commission, through its Constituency and Executive projects Tracking Group , has meticulously tracked a total sum of ₦219.844 billion disbursed to 176 Ministries, Departments, and Agencies since 2019.
“This initiative ensures government funds are directed towards impactful projects that benefit the most vulnerable Nigerians”, he said. Among the most alarming discoveries are instances of hoarding empowerment projects intended to alleviate poverty among the populace. “Hording of projects such as empowerment projects meant to be distributed to intended beneficiaries to empower them or serve to alleviate their poverty were hoarded, while some other items were distributed through proxies.“It was observed that some agencies were in the habit of handing over empowerment items to stakeholders for onward distribution to the intended beneficiaries.
The assessment has led to the implementation of measures aimed at enhancing transparency and accountability, including standardized operating procedures, a port service support portal, and a Nigerian Port Process Manual.The enforcement team, Ports Standing Task Team , has been instrumental in effecting positive changes, resulting in improved port efficiency, streamlined operations, and the dismantling of corruption networks causing traffic congestion, particularly at Apapa and Tin-Can ports.
