A civil society organisation, Fixing The Future, has demanded that the President-elect, Bola Tinubu; Vice President-elect, Kashim Shettima, incoming governors and other public officials should declare their assets ahead of their inauguration on May 29.

The group noted that spouses and unmarried children under the age of 21 of the public officials are also mandated by the Code of Conduct Bureau Act to declare their assets.

The FTF said the Assets Declaration Compliance Survey it conducted revealed that “about 94 per cent of public officials in Nigeria do not comply with the provisions of Section 15 (1) (c) of the CCB and Code of Conduct Tribunal Acts on full disclosure of assets and liabilities.”

The Executive Director of the FTF, Stanley Ekpa, at a press conference in Abuja, on Monday, emphasised that politicians should ensure full compliance with the provisions of the extant laws on assets declaration.

Ekpa said, “We want to draw the attention of public officials to the fact that the law requires all public officials, their spouses, and their unmarried children under the age of 21 to declare their assets and liabilities, in the asset declaration forms as prescribed by the Code of Conduct Bureau.

“The cost of corruption is staggering. of the approximately $13tn that governments spend on public projects across Africa, more than 45 per cent is lost to contract corruption. Data from the African Union shows that Nigeria loses over $7bn to corruption annually. At the continental level, it is estimated at $140bn, a figure that is equivalent to the GDP of all but five countries in Africa.

“PwC projects that corruption in Nigeria could cost up to 37 per cent of GDP by 2030 if it is not curtailed. As we all know, corruption drains public finances, affects efficiency in governance and lowers standard of living.

“To curtail corruption in public service in Nigeria, public officials must observe and obey the provisions of the extant law on full disclosure of their assets and liabilities before and during their tenure in office. They should also declare the assets of their spouses and unmarried children under the age of 21 as prescribed by the Code of Conduct Bureau Act.”

Ekpa said beyond the press conference, the group would also hold a national symposium on Asset Declaration and Declared Asset Verification, in partnership with all relevant stakeholders.

declare assets with screenshot of foreign account balances

there is no crime in declare asset in trillions

Boom dig_it!!

A country without regards to the rule of law. Its just a mere formality for asset declaration in this country...

“Absolute freedom means absolute lawlessness.” “Justice suffers when men refuse to stand firm for what is right. If we don't fight lawlessness, it prevails. If we don't establish the truth in our nations, truth becomes foreign in the country.

If he still remembers

this people. they will never respond to this. including them and their aids. this is very important as they want to be sworn in.


but just say" obi this or that" you will see them responding left and right

Funny

Imagine,
Make thief talk how him take dey get money?

Ekpa again normal normal

what is the relevance of the declarations after four years? who dey check am?

Shouldn't you be telling Obi that?

Or you done lose hope?

I don't see any big deal in one declaring his asset unless if you are not clean.

Unmarried children below 21, does any of them even have such, all their kids are older.

Without regrets,before I read I already knew where the person that made the statement is from...upper iweka people .

Ok

This makes sense to me and I love the part that says that they volunteer to do follow u and verification...it's cool, just that, those things don't matter in Nigeria.

If Tinubu is sensible as he use to claim, he should write his name in the golden book of Nigeria history.

I won't say more than this

This one's seeking attention, allow judiciary to confirm who is next Nigeria president before una go start una drama.

Also request for the asset declaration of his house boy, driver, tailor, dry cleaner, gardener, cook, in fact ask the asset declaration of everyone around him and their families too. Don't forget to ask for their villagers asset declaration too

He can't only yar adua does that, the best democratic president Nigeria has ever had...May Allah grant him Aljannah firdaus

Only an idiot would still trust this declaring of assets by our politicians (Buhari did the same thing), let alone BAT; chairman of corrupt practices in Nigeria...

Lol. Allow him to assume office first na

You can as well mention Atiku, Sowore, Kwankwaso etc.😂😂😂😂

Tinubu's greatest night mare is obeying laws. He would always seek ways to by-pass the laws.

Any asset Tinubu did not declare, anybody that discovers it, should claim it.

Signed Obidients.

He should declare his children's asset? Do all these supporters of other parties th*nk at all? So if General Olusegun Obasanjo is contesting as a President, Iyabo Obasanjo has to declare assets she worked for?

Oh! I just checked his name: "Stanley Ekpa". I rest my case.

It would have been good,but laws are not to be obeyed by the rich and powerful.law is for the less privilege.Any law that will stop corruption is welcome.

You think say BAT no prepare for all these?
