Adamu spoke during a media parley with journalists in Abuja on Wednesday, where he promised to lead by example.
According to him, one of the steps he would be taking to improve the system is to show himself in court during the prosecution of persons charged with corruption by the ICPC.
Speaking further, the ICPC boss also said that he would involve the Nigerian Law School, NLS, in the fight against corruption.
“As the Chairman of ICPC, I will be appearing in court during prosecutions. If there’s a case I feel the need to go the court, I will be there,” he said.
“This is one of things I will do differently as the Chairman of ICPC.”
He said that he would be deciding on the very case to attend and could also assign some others to his senior staff.
On the issue of manpower, the ICPC boss promised to ensure that the staff strength of the Commission is increased.
He said working closely with the Economic and Financial Crime Commission, the EFCC, would help reduce the manpower deficit.
