The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) and the Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers (NIESV) have resolved to partner in the recovery and management of corruptly acquired assets.
Secretary to the Commission, Professor Musa Usman Abubakar, revealed this while receiving the president of the institution, ESV Emmanuel Okas Wike and his team on behalf of the ICPC in Abuja.
A statement by the commission’s spokesperson, Azuka Agugua, and made available to newsmen, on Thursday, quoted Professor Abubakar as saying the partnership is a welcome development.
He said the asset recovery was one of the major components of the fight against corruption, adding that ICPC needed the support of experts such as estate surveyors in the valuation of recovered assets to ensure that the government was not shortchanged in the process of disposing recovered properties.
According to him: “That your institution considers this collaboration as your corporate social responsibility is worth commending as corruption should be fought by everyone in the interest of all.”
In his reaction, the president of NIESV, ESV, Wike, expressed his appreciation to ICPC for seeing the importance of working with other professionals, especially in the area of assets recovery and management.
“It is key to us that you consider NIESV as a worthy partner. We are, therefore, ready to offer our support for the work that you do.
“We will work with you to ensure that your work in our field is properly carried out for the benefit of all Nigerians and I assure you of the best of our services,” he concluded.
A major high point of the visit was the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the commission and NIESV by the Secretary to the Commission and the President of NIESV.
