 ICPC, NITDA PARTNER NASARAWA ON GRASSROOTS TRANSPARENCY


The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) is strengthening efforts to promote transparency, accountability and responsible governance through digital innovation, with the introduction of local government websites aimed at improving public access to information and enhancing citizens’ participation in governance.


Nasarawa State is the first to pilot the initiative, which is being implemented in collaboration with the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA).


Flagging off the programme, themed “Deepening Transparency and Accountability at the Grassroots through Digital Disclosures,” Governor Abdullahi Sule describes the initiative as a significant step towards strengthening responsive governance and advancing Nigeria’s digital economy.


The Governor says the platforms will enable citizens to access relevant information on local government activities, promote transparency in public administration and provide opportunities for constructive feedback on grassroots development.


Chairman of the ICPC, Musa Adamu Aliyu, says the initiative is designed to provide a framework for establishing functional websites across Nigeria’s 774 local government areas, ensuring easier access to public information and strengthening citizens’ engagement with government.


Similarly, the Director-General of NITDA, Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi, highlights the role of information and communication technology in promoting transparency, strengthening feedback mechanisms and driving economic development.
