The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) and Osun State Government signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Monday.
Gov. Ademola Adeleke and the Chairman of ICPC, Dr Musa Aliyu, signed the MoU at the Government House, Osogbo.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is based on project monitoring and evaluation.
The governor said the anti-corruption agencies have delicate assignments that demand the support and cooperation of those who hold top government offices.
He added that the partnership would further deepen good governance, especially in terms of anti-corruption protocols.
“Our government today is demonstrating a political will by entering into a partnership with the ICPC on project monitoring and evaluation.
“I do not doubt that this agreement will enhance existing quality assurance and expand the anti-corruption infrastructure within Osun state.”
Adeleke said that his administration was implementing a multi-billion naira infrastructure agenda in the state with zero tolerance for corruption.
“We rolled out several initiatives, which included the creation of special project accounts, blockage of leakages in the revenue collection system, increase in internally generated revenue, reduction of overhead cost and deliberate saving from government’s earnings.’’
