The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has initiated the tracking of 106 constituency and executive projects worth ₦41 billion across Kano State.
Barr. Ibrahim Garba, the ICPC Kano State Resident Anti-Corruption Commissioner, announced the commencement of the monitoring process in a statement to the press.
He disclosed that 99 of the projects are constituency-driven, while the remaining seven are executive projects, all spread across the state’s 44 local government areas.
Garba emphasized that the goal of the tracking initiative is to ensure that the projects are executed according to their specifications, providing tangible benefits to the people, minimizing waste, and preventing corruption.
He called on local residents to actively engage in the monitoring process by reporting any discrepancies in the project execution and taking ownership of projects in their communities.
“The ICPC has focused on key sectors that directly impact the lives of citizens, such as education, health, agriculture, water supply, rural roads, power, and youth empowerment,” Garba noted.
Additionally, Garba highlighted that the Commission would collaborate with key stakeholders, including the media, the Nigerian Institute of Quantity Surveyors (NIQS), the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP), the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation, and civil society organizations, to ensure the successful monitoring of the projects.
