President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice of Jigawa State, Dr. Musa Adamu Aliyu as the new Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).


Clifford Okwudiri Oparaodu was also appointed as the Secretary of the Commission according to a statement issued on Tuesday by the Presidential Spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale.

The statement reads in part, “The new Chairman of the ICPC is nominated for confirmation by the Nigerian Senate, following the President’s approval of the outgoing Chairman’s request to proceed on pre-end of tenure leave beginning on November 4, 2023, ahead of the expiration of his tenure on February 3, 2024.

“The position of the Secretary to the Commission does not require Senate confirmation and therefore, by the directive of the President, the appointment of Mr. Clifford Okwudiri Oparaodu as Secretary of the Commission takes immediate effect.”
