President and VP yet to visit Code of Conduct Bureau

According to the chairman of the Bureau, Sam Saba, the verification of the assets declared by a public officer involves two stages, which are conference and field verifications.

 

Tongues have started wagging over undefined

Two months after assuming office, both Buhari and Osinbajo are yet to present themselves to the Bureau for verification of their assets as required by law.

Though the President and his VP had promised to make the details of their assets declared to the CBB public only after the verification exercise, it’s past two months after the specified time for the process and they are yet to visit.

While the conference verification would see the public officer presenting documents such as statements of bank accounts, receipts and evidence of vehicle registration relating to the declared assets before a committee inaugurated by the bureau.

This is followed by the conference verification, the officers of the bureau and the public officer will agree on a convenient date when the CCB’s committee will visit the locations of the assets for physical inspection.

However, the Presidency had said until the Bureau completed the verification, the President and the Vice-President would not make the details of their declared assets public as they promised during electioneering.

In the same vein, the verification of assets of governors and deputy governors who were inaugurated on May 29, 2015, was ongoing, and the bureau is collaborating with the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit to aid the verification of the financial standings of public officers.
