The Jigawa State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission (JSPCACC) has recovered over N300 million in public funds since the beginning of 2024.

The agency’s chairman, Barrister Salisu Abdu, said this at a three-day sensitisation workshop in Dutse, the state’s capital.

Barrister Abdu said the commission has resolved nearly half of the 200 complaints received and is currently prosecuting over 16 cases at various levels.
