The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) is pushing President Bola Tinubu to take a significant step towards transparency. SERAP wants the President to request the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) to publish his assets, and to encourage other high-ranking officials, including Vice-President Kashim Shettima, ministers, and state governors, to do the same.
This move is crucial in promoting transparency, accountability, and public trust in government. SERAP believes that secrecy in asset declaration forms provides opportunities for the abuse of public money for private gain. By publishing their assets, public officials can demonstrate their commitment to transparency and accountability.
SERAP’s request is also in line with the Nigerian Constitution and international treaties, which emphasize the importance of asset declaration by public officials. The organization hopes that this move will increase public confidence in the integrity of public officials and government institutions.
