The Jigawa State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission (JSPCACC) has expressed concern over delayed court judgments, warning that slow justice delivery is weakening the state’s anti-corruption efforts.
Speaking during activities marking the 2025 World Anti-Corruption Day, Chairman Salisu Abdu highlighted the commission’s performance for the year. He disclosed that JSPCACC received 479 complaints from individuals and institutions, with 110 fully treated—an indication of the agency’s proactive response to corruption cases.
Abdu revealed that over ₦385 million in misappropriated funds was recovered in 2025 following thorough investigations across various sectors. He added that the commission protected the identities of 14 whistleblowers to encourage safe reporting.
He noted that several recommendations were issued to the state government to strengthen anti-corruption mechanisms, including reforms to close loopholes in public spending.
To broaden public engagement, the commission launched official Facebook and X accounts to spread awareness and enhance communication.
Abdu, however, identified delays in accessing timely information as a major challenge affecting the commission’s work
