RMAFC Chairman, Dr. Mohammed Bello Shehu, OFR, represented by the Federal Commissioner representing Kwara State, Hon. Ismail Mohammed Agaka, charged the newly inaugurated ACTU members to carry out their responsibilities with passion, patriotism, and a strong sense of duty.

“I urge each of you to approach your responsibilities with a commitment to national interest, diligence, due process, and a vision for prosperity,” he said.

Dr. Shehu emphasized that the ACTU will play a critical role in reinforcing the Commission’s efforts to entrench transparency, accountability, and prudence in its operations.

“The inauguration of this Unit will not only complement management’s internal controls but also reinforce the Commission’s zero tolerance for corruption,” he stated. He urged the inductees to display professionalism, courage, and fairness in discharging their duties.

Delivering a goodwill message, Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), Dr. Musa Aliyu, SAN—represented by Mr. Olusegun Adigun, fsi, Director of the Systems Study and Review Department—commended RMAFC’s leadership for its commitment and collaboration in establishing the ACTU.

He outlined the key responsibilities of ACTUs to include conducting corruption risk assessments, fostering ethical compliance, monitoring budget implementation, and undertaking preliminary investigations into complaints.

He further urged RMAFC management to provide the ACTU with adequate funding, office facilities, and representation in relevant standing committees to enhance its effectiveness.
