SERVICOM Office Presidency says it is collaborating with Independent Corrupt Practices And Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) to stem misappropriation and improve delivery of public services.
In a statement issued by Miss Patience Musa, the Public Awareness Manager of the organisation, SERVICOM also notes that the collaboration will involve issues on possible prosecution of offenders.
Musa said that Mrs Nnenna Akajemeli, the National Coordinator of SERVICOM, announced this during a visit to the Chairman and Board Members of the ICPC.
She explained that evaluation conducted by SERVICOM Officers revealed that services were not provided in some in Ministries, Departments and Agencies due to fiscal misappropriation.
“Reports from our evaluation that highlight corruption and misappropriation of funds will henceforth be sent to your commission for your investigation and appropriate prosecution.
“Our new thinking through this collaboration is to give a lot of weight to SERVICOM Compliance Evaluation Reports which are usually sent to government’’, Musa quoted Akajemeli as saying.
Musa also said that the Chairman of ICPC Prof. Bolaji Owasanoye, enjoined SERVICOM Office to SERVICOM Compliance Evaluation Reports to the commission, promising to act on the reports in line with the mandate of the commission.
According to Musa, the chairman promises to support the SERVICOM Unit in the commission as requested by SERVICOM National Coordinator.
