A statement from the commission’s Head of Media, Mr. Folu Olamiti, quoted the ICPC Chairman, Ekpo Nta, as saying in a recent television interview that their operatives were already in the fields visiting various banks to check whether the “person whose name is on the nominal roll and on the pay roll in a particular ministry is the same person receiving it in the bank.”
According to Nta, “clever internet experts” could insert a fake name at the pay roll section, do biometrics, send it by e-payment to your bank and somebody else picks it up.”
He informed that ICPC operatives were currently authenticating the nominal and pay rolls in some banks since cashiers “now pay directly to the banks.”
He added: “I want to use this opportunity to state that the moment you have any credible issue to send to us, go ahead and do it as we have a much more responsive system now.”
