Buhari receives asset declaration form, directs Osinbajo, ministers, others to fill theirs

President Muhammadu Buhari says his strict adherence to the constitutional requirement of assets declaration before and after taking office is aimed at strengthening best practices, raising moral standards in Public Service, helping to build integrity and combating corruption.

To this extent, he has directed that all out-going officials, elected and appointed from the Vice President downwards must collect the assets declaration form, fill and return it as he has done.

Speaking upon collecting his form from Isah Mohammed, the chairman of the Code of Conduct Bureau, in Abuja on Friday, President Buhari said no one is excluded from the Constitutional duty of assets declaration.
