A statement by Mr Bashir Nuhu, the
Director, Communication and Public Affairs Department of the Corporation, said
Mrs Ronke Sokefun, the Chairman of the Corporation’s Board said this in Abuja
on Tuesday.
Sokefun said at a sensitisation seminar for
Board members and management of the Corporation, that the drive toward
deepening anti-corruption practices in the Corporation informed the invitation
of the NACS secretariat to host the seminar.
She said the collaboration through
effective sensitisation on the NACS, particularly the National Ethics and
Integrity Policy and the Freedom of Information (FoI) Act, would enhance the
ownership of the anti-corruption campaign in government agencies.
Sokefun said the board and management of
the Corporation had always strived to uphold the core values of integrity and
professionalism in the discharge of the NDIC mandate.
She said that it was a welcome development
to learn new and better ways of enhancing the anti-corruption mantra through
the NACS.
The chairman stressed the total commitment
of the board and management of NDIC to sound corporate governance.
Nuhu also quoted Mr Bello Hassan, the
Corporation’s Managing Director, as lauding the sensitisation initiative of
NACS.
Bello was represented by the Executive
Director (Operations), Alhaji Mustapha Ibrahim.
Mr John Ode, the Deputy Director, Public
Institutions Ethics and Values of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other
Related Offences Commission (ICPC), said the Anti-Corruption Unit (ACTU) of the
NDIC was the most active among other public institutions.
He charged the Corporation to further
imprint its anti-corruption campaign messages on all its communication channels
as a way of reinforcing the conduct of staff.
Ode said the collaboration with NACS and
emergence of NDIC as overall best agency in the 2021 ICPC Ethics and Integrity
Scorecard among over 300 public institutions was testaments to the
Corporation’s commitment to mainstreaming anti-corruption policies and
practices in its operations.
