The post reads:
“FG scrap FRCN, ICPC, NCDC, NCC, NTA, several others.”
Other social media posts echoed the claim here and here.
A fact-checking platform, Africa Check, recently investigated if it is true that the ICPC and others have been axed.

Earlier, TheTalk.NG reported that President Tinubu is reportedly ready for the merger of some agencies in his move to cut down the cost of governance by his administration.

According to Bayo Onanuga, one of the spokespersons to President Bola Tinubu, the Oronsaya panel report was done 12 years ago, and a white paper was issued two years later.
