Political office holders in Niger directed to declare assets
The Niger State government has directed all outgoing political office holders, both appointed and elected, to pick up and fill asset declaration forms at the state Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) immediately.
Secretary to the State Government Ahmed Matane gave the directive in a statement by his spokesman Tanko Lawal in Minna on Thursday.
He said that the concerned public office holders were expected to visit the office of the CCB at the Federal Secretariat in the state to collect, fill and return the end of tenure asset declaration form before May 29.
Mr Matane warned that failure to comply with the directives would lead to prosecution of defaulters at the code of conduct tribunal.
He noted that the state CCB had reiterated its commitment to enforce powers bestowed on it under 3rd Schedule Part 1, Paragraph 3 (e) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) on the need for all political office holders to comply with the provision accordingly.
“Failure to do so may lead to prosecution at the Code of Conduct Tribunal,” he warned.
