In his remark ICPC Chairman, Professor Bolaji Owasanoye said the idea of the central database system is to ensure that all anti-corruption agencies harmonise all recovered assets adding that digitising all the agencies will make for easy access.
The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice had earlier in December 2019 told journalists in Abuja that a central database will be created for the management of recovered assets stolen from the country.
He stressed that the war against corruption in the country by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government is devoid of any political or ethnic sentiments.
The launch was witnessed by officials from government agencies including the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC), and the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS).
