It is a Nigerian agency that was inaugurated on September 29, 2000, with a mandate to educate about, prohibit, detect, investigate, and prosecute corrupt practices and related offenses. The ICPC targets corruption in the public sector, especially bribery, gratification, graft, and abuse or misuse of office.
