ICPC Hosts Indonesian Diplomatic Dialogue, Seeks Stronger Global Cooperation, Knowledge-Sharing Against Corruption
The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has called for stronger international collaboration and knowledge-sharing in the fight against corruption, as it hosted the second edition of its International Diplomatic Dialogue in Abuja on Monday.

The dialogue, organised by the Anti-Corruption Academy of Nigeria (ACAN), the research and training arm of the ICPC, was themed “Experience Sharing in Anti-Corruption Strategy: The Indonesian Perspective.”
The Indonesian Ambassador to Nigeria was represented at the event by Mrs. Tuty Dityawanty, Minister Counsellor for Political Affairs.
In his address, the ICPC Chairman, Dr. Musa Adamu Aliyu, SAN, said the dialogue was designed to provide an opportunity for Nigeria to learn from Indonesia’s experience, policies and strategies in combating corruption.
Aliyu recalled that the Commission had earlier hosted the Kenyan High Commissioner to Nigeria, Ambassador Isaac Keen Parashina, MBS, during which both sides exchanged knowledge on approaches to tackling corruption in Kenya.
According to him, Indonesia’s experience is particularly relevant given the efforts of the country’s anti-corruption agency, the Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (KPK), also known as the Corruption Eradication Commission.
He said Nigeria could benefit from Indonesia’s experiences in areas including institutional reforms, legal reforms, enforcement and other strategies deployed to prevent and combat corruption.
The ICPC Chairman described corruption as a global phenomenon and a major impediment to sustainable development, economic growth, social justice and public trust in institutions.
He stressed that corruption has devastating consequences for the political, socio-economic and developmental progress of nations and organisations where it is allowed to thrive unchecked.
“As Nigeria continues to deepen its anti-corruption efforts, there is much value in learning from comparative experiences, understanding best practices, and identifying innovative approaches that can be adapted to our local realities,” Aliyu said.
He noted that the diplomatic dialogue reflects the commitment of the ICPC and ACAN to promoting international cooperation and evidence-based approaches to corruption prevention.
Aliyu further said the initiative aligns with the Commission’s broader objective of building a culture of integrity, transparency and accountability in both the public and private sectors.
He expressed appreciation to the Indonesian Ambassador for accepting the invitation and sharing the country’s experiences and insights with Nigerian stakeholders.
According to him, the engagement further strengthens the cordial relations between Nigeria and Indonesia while demonstrating the two countries’ shared commitment to good governance and ethical leadership.
The ICPC Chairman also commended the Provost of ACAN, Professor Sheriff Ghali Ibrahim, and his team for conceptualising and organising the initiative, describing the Academy as playing an important role in research, training, advocacy and capacity development in support of Nigeria’s anti-corruption agenda.
He urged participants at the dialogue to actively engage in discussions, ask critical questions, share perspectives and explore opportunities for future collaboration.
Aliyu stressed that the knowledge exchanged at the event should translate into practical actions capable of strengthening institutions, improving public trust and contributing to national and continental development.
“Corruption remains one of the greatest threats to development, but together, through collective action, collaboration, and unwavering commitment, we can build institutions and societies where transparency and accountability thrive,” he said.

He disclosed that the ICPC would, in the coming months, host other heads of diplomatic missions to share their respective experiences and strategies in the fight against corruption.
The ICPC Chairman formally welcomed participants to the second edition of the International Diplomatic Dialogue and expressed hope that the deliberations would serve as a catalyst for stronger partnerships and innovative solutions in combating corruption.
