President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, says every person seeking political appointment in his administration will be compelled to declare their assets before taking office and before leaving.
During an interview with Sahara TV on Sunday, April 12, Buhari said the complete disclosure would encourage accountability and reduce corruption in the system.
He said, “All those that were governors, ministers, permanent secretaries, head of foreign staff and all those with political appointments will have to declare their assets on the assumption of their appointment and definitely with the courts. And once they leave they have to re-declare their assets.”
Buhari stressed that his administration would not: “become embroiled in investigation of every ministry, and then the government will not have time to move forward.”
