“In all cases of an infraction, culprits will be investigated and prosecuted.”

The commission’s Director of Operations, Mr Akeem Lawal, disclosed this during a virtual meeting of stakeholders on the topic, “COVID-19 Funds Management and Monitoring”, on Thursday.

The ICPC official, who did not mention names, said there were cases of state governments using the pandemic to “financially exploit local governments”. The ICPC, he added, is monitoring the distribution of money and food under the Conditional Cash Transfer Scheme and the Home School Feeding Programme.

Dr Dotun Adebayo, Special Adviser to the President on School Feeding Programme, said the government was targeting 3,131,971 households in the Home School Feeding Programme. According to him, a package contains five kilogrammes each of rice and beans, 500 milligrammes of vegetable oil, 750 milligrammes of palm oil, 500 Grammys of salt, 15 eggs and 140 grammes of tomato paste.“Fortunately, we had an existing fund to cover a 20-day circle in April for 35 states before schools were closed due to the COVId-19 lockdown,” he said.

“We followed it up by setting up a monitoring committee to monitor the use of contribution and funds during the emergency because the emergency period could trigger a higher level of corruption”
