The President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, says those seeking
political appointments in his administration will have to declare their assets
before taking office and before leaving.
Buhari, who said this would encourage accountability and
reduce corruption, was speaking during an interview with Sahara TV on Sunday.
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.”
