The Code of Conduct Bureau has mandated that the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the Vice President-elect, Kashim Shettima, and 28 incoming governors declare their assets by May 29 — 22 days before the presidential inauguration.

Other officials, including senators and representatives-elect, are expected to declare their assets before being sworn in on June 5.

According to the law, asset declaration is required as part of the swearing-in ceremony, according to CCB spokesperson Mrs Veronica Kato in Abuja.

She revealed that a number of elected officials had begun obtaining their asset declaration forms at CCB state offices across the country, and that they were required to submit the completed copies to the bureau before the day of the inauguration.

Outgoing officials, including presidential aides, 28 state governors and their cabinet members, National Assembly and state assembly members, and local government chairpersons, will also obtain and submit asset declaration forms from the CCB in accordance with the 1999 constitution.
