Knowlegde Gaps: ICPC Organises Training For Staff

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has organised a comprehensive two-week leadership training for some selected staff to improve on knowledge gaps as part of measures to strengthen their abilities to deliver on the mandate of the Commission.

The training which is being held in Abuja had about 30 participants drawn from different departments of the Commission.

While speaking during the opening ceremony on Tuesday, the Chairman of ICPC, Dr. Musa Adamu Aliyu, SAN charged participants to take the training seriously as one of his missions in office was to empower the intellectual capacity of members of staff of the Commission.

Dr. Aliyu, who was represented by the Provost of ACAN, Professor. Olatunde Babawale said on assumption of office in December last year, he had expressed his determination to ensure that ICPC focuses more on the preventive aspect of the mandate of the Commission, saying that “to focus on the preventive aspect of the mandate of the ICPC requires that training be taken seriously.

“One of my biggest missions in the office is to empower staff intellectually, and that intellectual empowerment translates into training and teaching. So, the programme that will be mounted in the next two weeks is called the Train the Trainers.”
