The Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC) has unveiled plans to work with the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) to ensure that public officials who gave false information on their assets on oath are identified and prosecuted accordingly.Also, the commission is set to investigate those who mismanaged resources allocated for educational development and denied the institutions the required operational capacity to impact knowledge on the students.
A statement yesterday by ICPC head of media and publicity, Folu Olamiti, quoted the commission chairman, Mr Ekpo Nta, saying that the move was one of the major fallouts of the ongoing collaboration with CCB and other agencies at synergising their capacities in the anti-graft war through collective approach.
Nta, who described those providing false information about their property and other assets under oath as ignorant of the legal implications of such actions, said the commission would work on information at its disposal by the Bureau to determine the veracity or otherwise of such claims and prosecute any officer found to have made false declarations.
