Abuja – The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) and 12 other federal ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs) scored zero in the 2025 Ethics and Integrity Compliance Scorecard by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC). The assessment of 357 MDAs revealed NNPC ranked last, scoring zero across all four pillars: management culture, financial management, administrative systems, and Anti-Corruption and Transparency Unit.
“No MDA achieved full compliance,” said Olusegun Adigun, Director of Systems Study and Review, representing ICPC Chairman Dr. Aliyu Musa. Only 48 MDAs (13.95%) showed substantial compliance, 132 (38.37%) partial, 141 (40.99%) poor, and 23 (6.69%) were non-compliant. 13 MDAs, including NNPC, University of Calabar, and Federal Civil Service Commission, were non-responsive, classified as high-risk.
Top performers were Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (91.83%), Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation, Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria, and Bank of Industry. ICPC warned persistently low-scoring MDAs face scrutiny and enforcement.
NNPC spokesperson Andy Odeh was unreachable for comment.
