ICPC Says It Recovered ₦5.3bn From Council Accounts, Plans Online Disclosure for All 774 LGs

The ICPC says it has recovered more than ₦5.3 billion from local government accounts in seven states and the FCT after reviewing their finances. The commission is also working with NITDA to put council financial and other public information online across the country’s 774 local government areas. The initiative has begun with a pilot in Nasarawa State. Council websites are expected to publish budgets, allocations, revenue, spending, audits, procurement information and channels for citizen feedback. ICPC Chairman Musa Adamu Aliyu said the disclosures would help residents and oversight bodies track public funds. NITDA will support website development and hosting, while the Nasarawa State Government has directed councils to keep their information accurate and up to date.
