As reported by PUNCH, the ICPC says no federal Ministry, Department or Agency achieved full compliance in its 2025 Ethics and Integrity Compliance Scorecard, pointing to widespread weaknesses in internal ethics systems.
The assessment covered 344 MDAs, with only a minority rated substantially compliant while many fell into partial, poor, or non-compliance categories.
The scorecard is intended to strengthen preventive anti-corruption reforms—meaning implementation after publication is as important as the ranking itself.
Premium Times reported the findings, stating: “No MDA achieved full compliance in the 2025 assessment.” Daily Post likewise noted: “The Commission said no MDA achieved full ethical compliance…”
Echotitbits take: Publishing rankings is step one; consequences and remediation are step two. Watch for whether compliance becomes tied to leadership performance reviews, procurement controls, and budget releases for repeat defaulters.
