The ICPC official, Mr. Egunjobi, in his address stated that ACTU is one of the tools that promote the ICPC preventive mandate; ACTU can perform all the functions of ICPC but cannot prosecute. The body is not expected to witch-hunt staff but work with them in tandem. He attributed the following as some of the fallout of the endemic corruption in Nigeria: high price of PMS, collapse of refineries, Inaccessible health facilities even with NHIS and a myriad of other attendant social and economic ills. He commended CRIN for geometric increase in her ethics and integrity report by the commission from about 63% in 2022 to over 80% in 2023.
