The Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund, NSITF, has recorded significant improvements in the recently released 2025 Ethics and Integrity Compliance Scorecard, EICS, by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, as well as in the ACTU Effectiveness Index, AEI, for the same year.

A statement by the chairman of NSITF’s Anti-Corruption and Transparency Unit, NSITF-ACTU, Mrs. Josephine Oamenmade, revealed that the Fund’s EICS score jumped from 59.0 in 2024 to 71.3 in 2025. 

The Fund also surged past 144 other government Ministries, Departments, and Agencies, MDAs, moving from 186th to 42nd position nationwide out of the 357 MDAs assessed by the anti-graft agency.

The statement read, “We are proud to announce our exceptional performance in the 2025 ICPC Ethics and Integrity Compliance Scorecard. We have moved from 186th to 42nd position nationwide out of 357 MDAs.”

The NSITF-ACTU further disclosed that the unit itself moved up to 47th position from 76th in the preceding year on the ACTU Effectiveness Index, with its score rising to 64.0.

According to the statement, the remarkable success was largely attributed to the dedication and integrity of NSITF staff, alongside the leadership of the Fund’s Managing Director and Chief Executive,  Olúwaceun Mayomi Faleye, and his management team.

“Kudos to the MD/CE, Management, and every staff member for upholding the high standards of accountability that made this possible,” the statement read.

The statement encouraged all staff to continue maintaining ethical standards and integrity in their work, emphasising that sustained commitment from every employee is critical to further progress and continued recognition.
