President Tinubu Appoints New ICPC Chairman
President Bola Tinubu has appointed Dr. Musa Adamu Aliyu as Chairman / Chief Executive Officer of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).
Meanwhile, pending Senate confirmation, Mr. Clifford Okwudiri Oparaodu will serve as Secretary to the Commission.
The new Chairman of the ICPC is nominated, 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 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.
Dr. Musa Adamu Aliyu carried out many far-reaching reforms as the Attorney General of Jigawa State since September 2019 and holds Bachelor, Master and Doctorate degrees in Law. He was also named as a Senior Advocate of Nigeria-designate in October 2023.
Mr Clifford Okwudiri Oparaodu is a lawyer with over 30 years of experience and has served meritoriously in the public service as a Member of the Rivers State Judicial Service Commission and Chairman of the Caretaker Committee of Port Harcourt City Local Government Council.
