The Code of Conduct Bureau has made Assets
Declaration Forms available to President Goodluck
Jonathan, ministers and political office holders.
Also, all newly-elected governors, National
Assembly and State Houses of Assembly
members have been directed to obtain assets
declaration forms.
It, however, said after the submission of the
forms, its officers will move round nationwide to
verify the claims of political office holders.
According to a notice by the Secretary to the
bureau, Mr. Kolade Omoyola, the filling of assets
declaration forms is in line with the 5th Schedule
to the 1999 Constitution.
The terse notice reads in part: “The Code of
Conduct Bureau wishes to remind all political
office holders to declare their assets on
assumption and vacation of office in accordance
with paragraph II of the 5th Schedule of the 1999
Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“Assets declaration forms are available for
collection at the Code of Conduct Bureau. Please
note that the declaration of assets does not end
with the submission of forms only as the Bureau
would verify such declarations for further
necessary action.”
