The Independent Corrupt Practice and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has launched phase 7 of its Constituency and Executive Project Tracking Exercise, focusing on the proper use of government funds allocated to key sectors such as education, health, agriculture, water resources, and power.
Starting on November 18, 2024, the initiative will track 1,500 projects valued at N610 billion across 22 states, including Kwara, Niger, Kogi, Lagos, Imo, Rivers, and others. This phase aims to ensure adherence to due process, improve value for money, and enforce compliance with contract specifications.
The exercise involves multiple government agencies, including the North-East Development Commission (NEDC), Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), and the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC). In the previous phase, phase 6, ICPC tracked 1,900 projects worth N500 billion across 24 states.
