The Code of Conduct Bureau, CCB, has verified and confirmed the assets that were declared by President Muhammadu Buhari and his Vice, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, SAN.
The Bureau, in a statement it issued in Abuja Wednesday, debunked a report alleging that it was yet to conclude the verification of assets that were declared by the duo.
According to the CCB, the assets declared by the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki and other top officials of the present administration that came on board in 2015 were also verified.
Debunking the report captioned “CCB still verifying Buhari, Osinbajo, Saraki, others assets”, which it said was published on April 30, the Bureau disclosed that so many public officers came up to declare their assets after President Buhari assumed office.
“The Bureau wishes to inform the general public that it has since concluded the verification of assets declared by those mentioned in the said publication.
“Therefore, the said publication is another trick to misinform the public so as to undermine the ongoing trials of cases of false declaration of assets before the Code of Conduct Tribunal.
“It could be observed that since the inception of the present administration under President Muhammadu Buhari, the rate of compliance by public officials in responding to assets declaration has greatly increased.
“The Bureau will like to use this medium to appeal to those who are yet to declare their Assets to visit the Asokoro Head office of No 23, Halle Salasi Street Asokoro, Abuja to collect, fill and submit same to the office”, read the statement signed by the Assistant Director, Head, Press and Protocol Unit at the CCB, Mr. Mohammad Idris.
