The Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) has directed the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, his vice, Kashim Shettima, and state governors to declare their assets before the May 29th inauguration. This directive was issued to ensure that they comply with the constitutional mandate and prevent any default in the process.
Speaking in Abuja, Mustapha Musa, the Special Assistant to CCB Chairman, Mohammed Isah, has confirmed that the Bureau has already issued the asset declaration forms to the newly elected and re-elected public officers in Nigeria, making it a prerequisite for occupying or exiting a public office.
He emphasized that submitting the declaration forms is a continuous process, and while some public officers have completed and returned theirs, others are yet to declare. Musa warned that there would be consequences if public officers fail to fulfill this obligation.
