The Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has quizzed former minister, Dr Chris Ngige, over his role in some contracts and jobs racketeering that happened in one of the agencies when he held sway.

Ngige was Minister in charge of Labour and Employment Ministry in the cabinet of former President Muhammadu Buhari.

The former Minister was said to be with the crack detectives of the ICPC for about five hours on Wednesday to answer some probing questions on how some contracts were awarded in the Nigerian Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF).

ICPC had invited some top officials of the NSITF for questioning over payment of N47million gratuity to the immediate-past MD of the agency, Mrs Maureen Allagoa, when she was still serving.
