The Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission has said its citizen awareness campaign for the monitoring and safeguarding of constituency and other government projects in the 36 states began on Tuesday.

In a statement, spokesperson for the commission, Rasheedat Okoduwa, said the ICPC launched the campaign late last year in collaboration with the National Orientation Agency.

She said, “The concept and implementation of constituency projects is evidence of government’s good intentions for grassroots people. The aim is to spread development to all the nooks and crannies of the country through the intervention of the people’s representatives in the legislature who should be in tune with their areas of need.

“The ICPC and NOA, given their mutual mandate which overlaps at the duty to mobilise citizens for good governance, are determined to alter the narrative and bring to fruition an active and committed citizenry desirous of ensuring the quality completion and protection of government projects in their communities.”

Okoduwa added that the campaign was supported by ActionAid and would feature town hall meetings, a documentary, radio jingles, printed information and enlightenment materials as well as other potent communication tools.

“The goal is to ensure that both the government and the community receive value for money, and that ownership and sponsorship of such projects are not ascribed to the wrong entities,” she said.
