PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has sworn in seven board members of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Offences Commission (ICPC).
The reappointed board members’ swearing-in ceremony took place shortly before the commencement of the Federal Executive Council meeting on Wednesday, March 15 at the State House in Abuja.
