ICPC Chairman Musa Aliyu disclosed this at a seminar commemorating the 2024 International Anti-Corruption Day.
Speaking at the event, Aliyu expressed the commission’s resolve to hold the implicated MDAs accountable.
“We have identified some MDAs allegedly engaged in job racketeering, and we will take necessary actions against them in the coming days,” he said.
Aliyu commended Nigerian youths for their increasing commitment to integrity and rejection of corrupt practices.
He noted that this trend signifies hope for the nation.
