The Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) has called on the newly elected, re-elected and outgoing public officers to declare their assets before being sworn-in or leaving office on May 29.
Mustapha Musa, the Special Assistant to CCB Chairman, Prof. Mohammed Isah, who spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) yesterday in Abuja, said: “It is important for elected officers to comply with the provisions of the Constitution as it is part of the requirements for occupying or exiting a public office.

“As an agency of government, we have already done our work according to the constitutional mandate; we have issued assets declaration forms to the newly elected and returning public officers. But since asset declaration administration is a continuous process, we have started receiving some completed forms while some are yet to return theirs.”
