Okwuosa was quoted in a statement by the institute as saying, “Corruption, unaccountability and poor public financial management are systemic within the Nigerian economic system. The UN sustainable development goals cannot be achieved under this socio-economic environment”. Therefore, ICAN in its public interest mandate is positioned to play a vital role in the improvement of public sector financial management and accountability in Nigeria.JAMB Result

The statement, signed by the Assistant Director, Corporate Communications, ICAN, Mrs Bunmi Owolabi, added that the ICAN Accountability Index has been acknowledged as having wider scope and better suited for Nigeria than similar initiatives like the Public Expenditure and Financial Accountability and the States Fiscal Transparency, Accountability and Sustainability Frameworks.

This, it said was due to the index’s scope captured in its five pillars, 25 indicators and 70 dimensions which are scaled across the federal, states and local governments.

For the tiers of government to improve their performances in the ICAN-AI, it is important that financial data are made publicly available to facilitate easy computation of the Index by the Institute.NYSC Portal

Stakeholders at the federal, state, and local governments were admonished to cooperate with ICAN-AI Assessors that visit ministries, departments, and agencies to collate relevant data, in addition to those sourced online.

The institute commended the entities for the positive progress in the amount of financial information provided.
