From Uche Usim, Abuja
In a move towards tackling institutional graft, the Chairman of the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) Board, Mrs Ronke Sokefun, has called for deeper collaboration between the Corporation and anti-graft agencies like Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and others.
She said collaboration has become more expedient to guarantee successful implementation of the National Anti-Corruption Strategy (NACS), towards strengthening the fight against corruption in the country.
Mrs Sokefun made the call in Abuja at a recent sensitization seminar for Board and Management of the Corporation facilitated by the National Anti-Corruption Strategy Secretariat.
The NDIC Chairman said collaboration through effective sensitization on components of the NACS, particularly the National Ethics & Integrity Policy, and the Freedom of Information Act would go a long way in enhancing the buy-in and ownership of the anti-corruption campaign of the Federal Government amongst top echelons of government agencies.
While stressing the total commitment of the Board and Management of NDIC to sound corporate governance, Mrs Sokefun noted that the drive towards deepening anti-corruption practices in the Corporation informed the invitation of the NACS secretariat to host the sensitization seminar for the Board and Management.
