THE Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) on Tuesday returned looted funds of about N980.2million to the Ministry of Environment and three Federal Government Colleges.
The amount included the stolen N924million voted for the Great Green Wall to fight desertification in 11 states and N56, 211,086.23 diverted votes for the feeding of students in Federal Government Girls
College (FGGC), Shagamu, Federal Government College, Odogbolu and the Federal Science Technical College, Ijebu-Imushin.
The Chairman of ICPC, Mr. Ekpo Nta, said, “The funds were returned pursuant to court orders
He said ICPC is still tracking and investigating the movement of another N468, 794,613.79.
Reacting to this, David Akachukwu the Chairman of Sylne Africa Communications Limited publishers of National Lifewatch Nigeria’s fastest growing magazine and online news says, although ICPC has done well by carrying out self auditing and refunding the sum of #980m to ministry, Mr. President must still as a matter of urgency probe and restructure all these agencies to enable them function effectively, without which the much talked about fight against corruption will be a mirage he opined.
