He continued that BPSR deployed SAT in NigComSat between December, 2018 and February, 2019 enabling BPSR carry out a validated assessment of NigComSat where key documents of NIGCOMSAT were verified. The validation exercise involved a process where the BPSR review all non-sensitive key documents and also undertook an in-depth analysis of specific issues germane to the attainment of the mandate of the organisation.
The MD NigComSat thanked the Ag. DG BPSR, she expressed shock over exceeding expectations but was glad they did. She also stated that BPSR SAT assessment prepared NigComSat ahead of the SAT later carried on by Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).
