The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has secured the fourth position among over 200 Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) in the Federal Government’s 2024/2025 Website Performance Scorecard.
The results were announced during a public presentation of the scorecard, organised jointly by the Bureau of Public Service Reforms (BPSR) and the Inter-Ministerial Task Team (IMTT). The assessment evaluated the functionality, compliance, and efficiency of MDAs’ websites nationwide.
At the event, ICPC Chairman Dr. Musa Adamu Aliyu, SAN, represented by the Commission’s Spokesperson, Mr. John Okor Odey, credited the high ranking to the organisation’s consistent investment in information technology. He noted that the ICPC had previously achieved the top spot on two occasions in earlier editions of the scorecard.
Dr. Aliyu highlighted the role of technology-focused leadership in driving the Commission’s digital transformation. He reaffirmed the ICPC’s commitment to leveraging IT to enhance transparency, accountability, and public service efficiency.
The Chairman also praised the BPSR and other tech-driven organisations for supporting the shift from paper-based systems to digital governance and for strengthening national cyberspace security. He pledged ongoing collaboration with relevant stakeholders to build a more transparent and digitally advanced Nigeria.
Speaking during the opening, BPSR Director-General Dr. Dasuki Arabi said the scorecard aims to boost MDAs’ capacity for transparency, accountability, and good governance by ensuring public access to information.
Dr. Arabi described the initiative as evidence of the Federal Government’s dedication to openness and citizen engagement, stressing that functional websites and effective technology use are vital for information sharing, service delivery, and data access.
He explained that the BPSR developed a standardised scorecard template to ensure MDA websites meet international benchmarks. The scorecard also serves as a key performance measure under the National e-Government Master Plan, tracking Nigeria’s overall e-government progress.
According to Dr. Arabi, fully standardised websites will enhance information access, reduce unnecessary human interaction, curb corruption in public finance, and minimise online fraud.
He concluded that the 2024/2025 results demonstrate notable improvements in MDA website functionality and compliance, reflecting steady progress in the nation’s digital public sector reforms.
