President Muhammadu Buhari has said that despite his administration’s efforts to rid the nation of corruption, some government agencies were still diverting government revenue or refusing to fully account for generated revenue.

The President stated this on Monday while speaking at the inauguration ceremony of the new board of the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) in Abuja.

Although he did identify the offending agencies, Buhari stated that his administration remained committed to ensuring that all government agencies account for public revenue generated or expended.

He said: “As I have noted in recent times, despite our anti-corruption drive, some agencies of government still divert or refuse to fully account for revenue generated. Rather than obey constitutional provisions and extant rules and regulations, such agencies continue as if nothing has changed.

“We are determined to ensure that every agency of government accounts for public revenue generated or expended. I am looking forward to ICPC’s support both for enforcement of anti-corruption laws and submission of policy measures and directives to prevent revenue leakage and diversion.
