Stakeholders in the fight against corruption across the country, after an extensive deliberation recently, have urged the Federal Executive Council (FEC) to extend the implementation of the National Anti-Corruption Strategy (NACS). The implementation of NACS included the two committees, the Inter-Ministerial and the Monitoring and Evaluation Committees (IMC and M and E, respectively), for another four years cycle. The FEC had, on July 5, 2017, presided over by the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo (SAN), approved the NACS 2017-2021, and subsequently directed its implementation. The policy document requires stakeholders’ endorsement at the end of the strategy’s implementation before its extension. The mandate includes to cascade implementation at the states and local council areas.
