The Chairman of the Sokoto State Pilgrims Welfare Agency, Alhaji Aliyu Musa, on Wednesday led a delegation of senior officials on a familiarisation visit to the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) Sokoto Office.
The visit, held on October 8, was aimed at strengthening the existing partnership between the two institutions and exploring new areas of collaboration to promote transparency, accountability, and ethical conduct in the management of Hajj operations.
In his remarks, Alhaji Musa commended the ICPC for its consistent efforts in combating corruption through preventive measures and public enlightenment. He said the Agency shared similar values with the Commission in upholding integrity and efficiency in service delivery to intending pilgrims.
Receiving the delegation, the Resident Anti-Corruption Commissioner, Mr Shintema P. Binga, expressed appreciation for the visit, describing it as a demonstration of the Agency’s commitment to good governance.
Mr. Binga assured the delegation of ICPC’s readiness to support the Agency through capacity building, ethics training, and sensitisation programmes designed to strengthen institutional integrity and public confidence.
The meeting ended with both organisations pledging to deepen collaboration in promoting accountability and improving the quality of public service in Sokoto State.
