The Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC) has inaugurated the Nigerian Shippers’ Council (NSC) Anti- Corruption and Transparency Monitoring Unit (ACTU) to fight corrupt practices at the nation’s ports.
Chairman of speaking at the inauguration and induction of the NSC ACTU members in Lagos at the weekend, ICPC, Prof. Bolaji Owasanoye who was represented by the ICPC Lagos State Resident Commissioner, Kabiru Elelu, Owasanoye, charged the inuagurated members to lead the war on corruption by example.
According to him, the responsibility of the ACTU unit would be a replica of the ICPC such that the unit has power to do all that the Commission does except prosecution of offenders.
He therefore urged members of the unit to ensure all the mandates of the ICPC are carried out to the best of their ability, saying that the creation of ACTU is a directive from the Federal Government since 2001 for all Ministries, Department and Agencies of government.
