The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has called for the publication of assets declared by public and civil servants by the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) in order to curb corruption in the public sector.
A press statement issued yesterday by the commission’s spokesperson, Mrs. Azuka Ogugua, quoted the Chairman of ICPC, Prof. Bolaji Owasanoye, as stating this during a meeting with the chairman and board members of CCB.
Owasanoye noted that the secrecy that surrounds asset declarations by public and civil servants was aiding corruption.
“Publicising asset declaration will assist the whistle-blowing policy and our work. We have not been able to take full advantage of asset declaration because of the opacity around it. If somebody lied about his or her assets, he or she can be found out by just the opening of the page where it has been published.
