Speaking at the event, Nta noted that the commission had recorded successes in the fight against corruption, starting with the recovery of assets seized from officials of government that were being investigated for living above their means.

His words, “We just returned close to N1bn to the Federal Ministry of Environment and N53m to three colleges in Ogun State.

“An official in the ministry took the money and lodged it into a dedicated account. We tracked it and recovered the money. The N53m we just returned to the schools was recovered from a Federal Pay Officer in Ogun State.

“The man is currently in custody and we will keep him there so that we will be able to recover the entire N103m that he took. He has been disposing of his properties to ensure that he pays up.
