The spokesperson of the ICPC, Azuka Ogugua, said the ICPC chairman made the commitment while addressing management staff as well as resident anti-corruption commissioners (RACCs) from the 21 state offices of the commission. The chairman noted that the retreat provided a unique opportunity for the commission to reflect on past achievements, assess current challenges, and strategize for the future.
The ICPC boss used the occasion to reveal his vision and policy thrust, which will be validated during the retreat. “CARE, an acronym for Culture, Accountability, Responsibility, and Efficiency, encapsulates the core values and principles that will guide our actions and decisions moving forward,” he said.
While thanking the guest speakers at the retreat, the chairman expressed the hope that the outcome of the deliberations will help shape the future of the commission and make a lasting impact on the socio-economic development of the nation.
“I urge each and every one of you to actively participate, engage in meaningful dialogue, and contribute your valuable insights and perspectives. Together, we have the opportunity to shape the future of ICPC and make a lasting impact on the socio-economic development of our nation,” he added.
The three-day retreat featured presentations by the management team as well as resident anti-corruption commissioners. Also lined up for the retreat are lectures by Prof. Attahiru Jega, Justice HAO Abiru, and Dr. Ibrahim Sule, as well as robust strategy and interactive sessions.
The retreat is expected to come up with resolutions that will form part of the ICPC’s 2024–2028 Strategic Plan and Priorities.
