The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has promised to work in concert with the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, to monitor the disbursement and use of the N338bn bailout funds which the federal government released to about 27 states of the federation.

President of the NLC, Comrade Ayuba Wabba, in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja on yesterday noted that the congress has directed all state councils in the benefiting states to serve as whistle blowers on any criminal diversion of the bailout funds. The NLC President, who saluted the renewed effort and commitment of ICPC to recover looted public funds and other proceeds of corruption, stressed that in so doing, ICPC is commendably living up to its Mission Statement which is “To rid Nigeria of corruption through lawful enforcement and preventive measures.”
