The Rector of the Federal Polytechnic, Nekede, Imo State, Dr Celestina Njoku, has confirmed the Anti-Corruption and Transparency Monitoring Unit (ACTU)-compliant status of the school.
She spoke while receiving a team comprising officials of the ACTU of the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), representatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices andOther Related Offences Commission (ICPC).
Dr Njoku explained that because of her belief in doing things transparently, she strengthened the unit, in compliance with the directive of the Office of Head of Civil Service of the Federation for all Ministries,Departments Agencies (MDAS) to establish ACTU.
She told the team that she involved ACTU in all official transactions for integrity and transparency before assenting to them. She promised to do more for the ACTU.
Presenting the team’s compliance monitoring and evaluation observation, its leader Alhaji Jauro Jibrin, expressed satisfaction with the polytechnic’s management and ACTU members for establishing an effective anti-corruption unit.
He said some unique attributes of the polytechnic’s ACTU were that the unit comprised the required personnel, very active and up and doing.
Jibrin, however, noted some of its challenges, listing them as lack of permanent office accommodation/equipment, creation of budgetary sub-head and payment of sitting allowances for ACTU members as contained in ICPC’s standing order and operational guidelines in MDAs.
He enjoined the management to look into the challenges.
Representatives of the two anti-graft bodies praised the management and ACTU for the synergy and general awareness created for the prevention of corruption. They encouraged the rector to keep the flag flying.
The team was in the polytechnic as part of ACTU’s monitoring of the Southeast and Southsouth federal polytechnics.
The visit was aimed at providing a platformfor anti-corruption advocacy, public enlightenment, system study and review. It was also to create the opportunity for an interactive meeting between the ACTU-NBTE/EFCC/ICPC team and ACTU members of polytechnics as well as administer the compliance monitoring and evaluation questionnaire instruments.
