The Chairman of the Fiscal Responsibility Commission (FRC), Victor Muruako, Esq., has applauded the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) for its steadfast commitment to accountability and anti-corruption efforts across Nigeria. He made the remarks in Abuja during the ICPC’s 2025 End-of-Year Activities.
Muruako extended warm felicitations from the management and staff of the FRC, describing the event as timely and significant as the nation reflects on the challenges and accomplishments of the outgoing year.
He commended the ICPC Chairman, Dr. Musa Adamu Aliyu, SAN, and his team for sustaining the Commission’s legacy as one of Nigeria’s frontline anti-corruption institutions. Muruako particularly highlighted the recent signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two agencies, describing it as a major step toward strengthening inter-agency collaboration in tackling corruption at all tiers of government.
According to him, both agencies have in recent months intensified joint efforts targeted at enhancing accountability and preventing corruption at the local government level. These efforts, he noted, focus on improved budget preparation, prudent management of public funds, and the modernization of tax, financial and asset administration systems. He emphasized that where acts of corruption are detected, the law must take its full course to deter future offenders.
FRC Boss also disclosed that the Commission is finalizing its revised Five-Year Strategic Plan, which includes expanded areas of collaboration with the ICPC aimed at strengthening the delivery of their shared mandates.
Expressing gratitude for the successes recorded in 2025, the FRC Chairman praised the ICPC for maintaining an unblemished record and avoiding allegations of compromise. He encouraged the Commission’s staff not to relent in their determination to combat graft, assuring them that their sacrifices for the nation are deeply appreciated.
Muruako further encouraged Nigerians contemplating relocating abroad (“japa”) to reconsider, expressing optimism in the renewed hope agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. He stated that Nigeria is steadily transforming into a country where citizens would prefer to stay and thrive.
He reaffirmed the FRC’s unwavering support for the ICPC and expressed confidence that the coming year would bring even greater achievements.
