CCB Chairman Dr. Abdullahi Bello has urged Nigerians to report public officials who appear to be living beyond their means. He promised investigations and possible sanctions for officials violating ethical standards and failing to make asset declarations.
- CCB boss says visible sudden wealth among public servants should raise red flags and prompt reports.
- Erring officials risk facing the Code of Conduct Tribunal and possible sanctions for misconduct.
- CCB warns against false or anticipatory asset declarations as it tightens enforcement under new leadership.
Many Nigerians on social media questioned the practicality of reporting officials, expressing fears over bureaucratic hurdles and personal safety. Some also raised concerns over whether the policy would apply equally to top politicians and civil servants.
Will this renewed call for accountability build trust in public institutions, or deepen public skepticism? The real test may lie in the government’s willingness to act on citizen reports without bias.
