President Bola Tinubu has nominated three new members to the board of the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) to fill existing vacancies. This announcement was made by Mr. Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, through a statement issued on November 27, 2024.
The nominees include Alhaji Fatai Ibikunle from Oyo State, Mr. Kennedy Ikpeme from Cross River, and Justice Ibrahim Buba, a retired judge of the Federal High Court. The nominations were formally presented in a letter to the President of the Senate. The CCB, established in 1979, ensures compliance with ethical standards in Nigeria's public service and plays a crucial role in maintaining integrity within the public sector.
The Bureau operates with a 10-member board. The current members of the board, which includes newly nominated individuals, are Mr. Muritala Aliyu Kankia, Mr. E. J. Agbomayinma, Mr. Ben Umeano, Prof. Juwayriyya Badamasiuy, Mr. Bulus I. Zephaniah, and Hon. Abdulsalam Taofiq Olawale.
Earlier in October 2024, President Tinubu swore in Dr. Abdullahi Usman Bello as the chairman of the Code of Conduct Bureau board. These nominations are part of the ongoing efforts to ensure transparency, accountability, and integrity in Nigeria’s public service.
