These new appointees will join the existing members to form the Bureau’s 10-member board, with the goal of strengthening its oversight mechanisms, according to Onanuga.

Founded in 1979, the Code of Conduct Bureau plays a vital role in upholding integrity in public service and ensuring adherence to the country’s ethical standards.

Under the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act, Chapter 58 LFN 1990, the Bureau is tasked with receiving and examining asset declarations from public officers, safeguarding these declarations, and making them available for public inspection under terms set by the National Assembly.

On October 23, 2024, President Tinubu swore in Dr. Abdullahi Bello as the new chairman of the CCB board.

The current board also includes members such as Muritala Kankia, E J Agbomayinma, Ben Umeano, Prof. Juwayriyya Badamasiuy, Mr. Bulus Zephaniah, and Abdulsalam Olawale.
