According to the Bureau, the rate of compliance to assets declaration requirement by public officers has increased since the inception of this administration.

The Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) has said that it has completed the verification of assets declared by President

The Bureau disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday, May 4, to dismiss a newspaper report that it was yet to conclude the verification of assets of Buhari, Osinbajo, Saraki and others.

In the statement, the agency's Head of Press and Protocol Unit, Mohammad Idris, said that more than ever before, the rate of compliance to assets declaration requirement by public officers has increased since the inception of this administration.

“The said publication is another trick to misinform the public so as to undermine the on-going trials of cases of false declaration of assets before the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT)," Idris said.

“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."
