Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Linkedin

The Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) has stated that public officials who fail to disclose or under-declare their assets may face consequences such as a 10-year ban from public service or being required to vacate their office entirely. 

Mr. Murtala Aliyu-Kankia, the acting Chairman of the Bureau, made this declaration while overseeing the ongoing verification process of political officeholders and top government officials’ assets on Monday in Katsina. 

Aliyu-Kankia said that the ongoing exercise is intended to include senior public officers and civil servants such as permanent secretaries, director-generals, directors, and other key officials within government entities.

According to him, government officials who are found culpable of assets’ non-disclosure or under-declaring will face the consequences of at least ten years from public office.  

He said,  

  • “You know, some people tend to under-declaration, anticipatory declaration and even non-declaration of their assets. 
  • “To detect these three aspects, we go to the field to find out where someone under-declared, or in anticipation of getting something declared he has a property. 
  • “All these are offences.  The person found wanting would be referred to the CCB tribunal for prosecution accordingly. 
  • “The punishment is either for him to forfeit the property, be banned from holding public office for 10 years or be asked to vacate the office he is occupying. 
  • “We are on course, we are doing it for the good of the country and the people,” he said.

  • Furthermore, Aliyu-Kankia emphasized that the bureau is collaborating with sister agencies such as EFCC and ICPC to sustain the ongoing fight against corruption in the country. 
  • He highlighted that this initiative would enhance the anti-corruption efforts under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.  
  • Additionally, he mentioned that following the verification exercise, the bureau’s personnel would conduct on-site checks to validate the assets declared by the officers. 
  • He, therefore, urged stakeholders to support the exercise to enhance the fight against corruption for the sustainable  social and economic development of the country.
