The Abia State Government has inaugurated the Strategy for Integrity, Accountability and Anti-Corruption Steering Committee, with a charge for the members to commence implementation of the state’s anti-corruption framework.
The inauguration is aimed at deepening transparency, accountability and good governance in the state.
While inaugurating the committee in Umuahia, Benson Ojekire, head of service, Abia State, stated that the establishment of the committee demonstrates the government’s commitment to institutionalising integrity and accountability across public service.
Ojeikere noted that members were carefully selected because of their strategic positions and capacity to drive the implementation of the state’s anti-corruption agenda.
According to him, the committee, which is made up largely of permanent secretaries and senior government officials, is expected to provide policy direction, monitor implementation progress, address emerging challenges and ensure that the objectives of the State Strategy for Integrity, Accountability and Anti-Corruption are achieved.
