The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offenses Commission has partnered with financial institutions in Borno State to expose illicit transactions and combat money laundering.
Speaking to journalists shortly after a sensitisation meeting with representatives of banks across the state in Maiduguri on Tuesday, the ICPC Resident Anti-Corruption Commissioner overseeing Borno and Yobe states, Linus Gubbi, said the banking sector is a critical gatekeeper of financial integrity.
According to him, the agency’s decision to collaborate with the sector is to build reliable, professional channels through which financial-related corruption can be disrupted.
He said, “Our focus is straightforward and action-oriented; compliance with applicable anti-corruption laws and ethical standards within the banking operation, reporting obligation, and collaboration”
