ICPC Inaugurates Committee to Manage Forfeited Assets

The Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), Prof. Bolaji Owasanoye, SAN has inaugurated a 14-man Asset Disposal Committee to manage assets forfeited to the federal government. 

Speaking at the ceremony which held at the ICPC headquarters in Abuja, Prof Owasanoye said that to ensure transparency and accountability in forfeited assets, the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) mandated the creation of an Asset Disposal Committee in every agency to manage recovered assets.  

“For the purpose of putting sanity and clarity in the entire process, one of the things POCA mandated is the creation, in every agency, of a department to manage recovered assets. By law, all the agencies that recover must have a department to manage assets. For example, if a perishable item is recovered, the agency has the power to dispose them immediately”.

He said, the inauguration of the Committee was aimed at ensuring proper coordination of the disposal of recovered assets and to promote a harmonized and transparent procedure that would safeguard the assets recovered by the Commission. 

According to the Chairman, for the purpose of ensuring due process and transparency in the disposal of forfeited assets, members of the committee are drawn from amongst Hon. Members and Management Staff of ICPC, representative of Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP), Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), Nigerian Union of Journalist (NUJ) and Civil Society Organisations (CSO). 

“In order to push some transparency, the Commission decided to invite some external stakeholders from the media, workers, and civil society. For the external people, the intention is that the same institution will substitute someone else every year, the whole idea is that people should not become institutional”.
