The partnership is geared towards the detection of corruption within the Fund, promotes good governance; as well as upholds accountability and integrity while maintaining commitment to ethical principles.
During a courtesy visit to the Chairman of the ICPC, Dr. Musa Adamu Aliyu, the Managing Director of NSITF, Barrister Oluwaseun Faleye, noted that the collaboration could redefine the fight against corruption in the NSITF and the country.
The NSITF Managing Director insisted that the partnership was very critical to efforts and desire to eradicate corruption, stating that the gathering underscored a shared vision; merging time-honoured values with bold, forward-thinking reforms.
On his part, the Chairman of ICPC, Dr Musa Adamu Aliyu, echoed the importance of ICPC and NSITF as two agencies that are very sensitive and critical to national development.
Aliyu remarked that for any MDA that is dealing with funds, there are a lot of risks and challenges, especially in dealing with employees, and the funds contributed by workers.
“I quite agree with you that your most valuable asset is trust and confidence. If people have confidence in you, they will be willing to make their contributions, but once they don’t have that confidence, you will be facing a lot of challenges,” Aliyu stated.
