The Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, Musa Aliyu, has said the lack of integrity and failure to uphold ethical standards remain at the heart of Nigeria’s governance and developmental challenges.
Aliyu made the assertion on Wednesday while delivering his opening address at the International Conference on Anti-Corruption, Transparency and Integrity in Governance, organised by the Anti-Corruption Academy of Nigeria, the training arm of the ICPC, in Keffi, Nasarawa State.
Speaking on the theme, “Strengthening Integrity Systems for Sustainable Development and Public Trust in Nigeria’, the ICPC Chairman said the country must urgently reinforce ethical compliance across all sectors to achieve meaningful progress.
“It is an acknowledged fact that lack of integrity and failure in ethical compliance is at the centre of most of the challenges our country is facing today,” he said.
He noted that addressing corruption requires the collective involvement of all sectors
