ICPC grills Ngige over alleged job racketeering
The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission has grilled a former Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, regarding contract irregularities and job racketeering at the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund during his tenure.
The ICPC had previously summoned top officials of the NSITF for questioning regarding the N47m gratuity paid to the immediate past Managing Director, Mrs Maureen Allagoa, while she was still in service.
However, it was gathered that the former minister spent over five hours with ICPC investigators on Wednesday, responding to questions.
A source familiar with the matter said, “The former minister was invited, and he showed up and was released on Wednesday night.
