The Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) has directed ministers-designate to proclaim their assets before official unveiling or consequence facing the wrath of the law.

The bureau plans to verify claims submitted by the new ministers at land registry, banks and companies where they either have shares or wholly owned by them.

It will however engage the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) to confirm the assets and accounts of the ministers-designate abroad.

The Chairman of CCB, Prof. Muhammed Isah, told The homeland that no one of the new ministers would be inaugurated without at the outset declaring his or her assets.

He said the bureau has been liaising with the Permanent Secretary, Cabinet Office to ensure full compliance with the law by the incoming ministers.

He said while some of the new ministers have collected assets declaration forms, some are yet to do so.

It is legally compulsory for the ministers-designate to declare their assets. If they do not declare their assets, they cannot be inaugurated by President Muhammadu Buhari. That is the most appropriate thing. We are determined to enforce the law,” Isah said.

So, the deadline for the declaration of assets is before their inauguration. From reports, a considerable number of them have collected but they have not completed the process. Some have not obtained the assets declaration form.”

Responding to a question, Isah said: “I have discussed the issue of declaration of assets by the new ministers with the Permanent Secretary, Cabinet Office. The same office has also requested for 100 copies of the Code of Conduct Bureau Act and the Code of Conduct Tribunal Act to guide the new ministers.

We are hopeful that CCB officers will be part of the induction for the ministers between August 15 and 16. We want them to know the dos and don’ts in public office.”

Isah explained that the CCB will verify the claims of ministers-designate at home and abroad.

We engage in up site and on site investigation of the ministers’ claims. By invoking up site investigation, we will verify their claims from land registry, banks, property firms, and companies they have shares or fully owned by them.

On site investigation involves inspection of the properties or assets declared in our form. This requires our officers going to assess the claims made by the ministers

CCB is one government agency that when they sneeze, cold will catch politicians. It used be EFCC.

Good

To what effect if I may ask. Its all a charade

I wish them good luck in their quest to loot more, they should loot with sense because Buhari and APC can't be in power for ever. EFCC is always there to fight the opponent

Joke of the day.

Let wait and keep watch. Internet does not forget. If only the present govt will not muddle everything in politics.

CCB should stop all this joke of a thing...... as if they are gonna use it for anything.

It will only be there for hunting politicians who messed up.

Because they can never declare their whole assets.

If it's shrouded in secrecy, it's an exercise in futility

How important has it been. Formalities!

Nonsense asset declaration!

Story. They have corruption charges, they haven't declared asset and you subscribed them for the post. You people should leave me alone abeg.

Uselessness


The terrorist Ruga cow refused to ‘Publicly Declare’ his ill gotten assets.


Deceivers!

God's will Akpabio right now :

I do hope they would adhere strictly to that.
All the best to them.

Its essential. SSS, DSS and NIA should be involved in the whole process t.......

Is it the duty of NIA to verify assets? See cluelessness

But the former CJN was sacrificed without the assets verified.
