ICPC, NFF Strengthen Anti-Corruption Drive With New ACTU Executive Team
In a renewed push to entrench transparency within Nigerian football, the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has inaugurated a new Anti-Corruption and Transparency Unit (ACTU) for the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), marking another significant step in tightening internal accountability across the nation’s football administration.
At the ceremony in Abuja, NFF General Secretary, Dr Mohammed Sanusi, applauded the collaboration with ICPC, describing it as instrumental in improving processes, record-keeping and compliance within the Federation.
“People must understand the work of ACTU. It is about ensuring the right things are done to avoid investigations and indictments,” he said, assuring the Commission of the NFF’s full cooperation.
ICPC Chairman, Dr Musa Adamu Aliyu, SAN, hailed the inauguration as “a critical step” in empowering the new ACTU members to effectively safeguard transparency within Nigeria’s football ecosystem.
He urged them to uphold integrity and professionalism as the Federation works to build a sustainable football culture capable of elevating Nigeria’s global standing.
New ACTU Chairperson, Barr. Queen Otarakpo, expressed gratitude to the NFF leadership and paid tribute to the outgoing team for laying a solid foundation. She pledged dedication, responsibility, and unwavering diligence from the newly constituted unit.
The new members include Queen Otarakpo (Chairperson), Abdulrasheed Usman, Yakubu Abdumalik, Ann Okoro, Amina Daura, Tasiu Riskuwa Shehu, and Ahmed Yusuf.
The event was attended by senior ICPC and NFF officials, including directors, department heads, and technical personnel.
