in line with the mandate of the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC)
In a bid to boost transparency and accountability, the Ministries of Solid Minerals and Steel Development jointly established an Anti-Corruption and Transparency Unit (ACTU) in line with the mandate of the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC).
Speaking during the inauguration in Abuja, the Director of Human Resource Management, Mrs Ijeoma Idika, who represented the Permanent Secretaries of both ministries, said that the formation of ACTU is a key step in adhering to the ICPC’s mandate to promote transparency, accountability, and combat corruption across Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs).
The ministries recall that the launch of ACTU demonstrates their renewed commitment to combating corruption and promoting good governance, adding that, “The unit will work closely with the ICPC to identify and address corruption risks, ensure compliance with anti-corruption laws, and foster a culture of transparency and accountability within the ministries.”
