Today in Kano, the ICPC (Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission) hosted a One-Day Media Dialogue for journalists from Nigeria’s Northwest and Northeast regions.
The event was part of the Accountability and Corruption Prevention Programme for Local Governments (ACPP-LG).
During the dialogue, the Executive Director, Dr. Umar Yakubu, unveiled the ACPP-LG framework. This new program is designed to help local governments become more transparent and accountable by:
– Promoting fiscal transparency
– Strengthening accountability mechanisms
– Improving public access to information
– Encouraging citizen engagement
The dialogue emphasized that local governments are particularly vulnerable to corruption because they are the closest level of government to the people. The ACPP-LG framework aims to equip journalists to act as watchdogs and drive reforms at this crucial level of governance.
