The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has initiated the seventh phase of its constituency and executive projects tracking exercise, involving 1,500 projects valued at ₦610 billion.
This announcement was made by ICPC spokesperson Demola Bakare in a statement released on Tuesday in Abuja. The exercise, which commenced on November 18, is aimed at assessing the utilization of funds allocated to critical sectors such as education, health, agriculture, water resources, and power.
“The objective of the exercise is to deepen adherence to due process in the execution of government projects, improve value for money, and entrench the culture of compliance with the scope and specification as contained in the contract documents,” Bakare said.
The initiative, which started in 2019, spans multiple government agencies and intervention bodies, including the North-East Development Commission (NEDC), Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC), and Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND).
This phase will cover the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and 21 states across the six geopolitical zones, including Kwara, Kano, Rivers, Lagos, and Kaduna.
