President Bola Tinubu has officially sworn in Dr. Abdullahi Usman Bello as the new Chairman of the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) in a ceremony held at the Presidential Villa’s Council Chambers. The event, which took place just before the commencement of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting on Wednesday, underscores the administration’s focus on enhancing transparency and accountability within the public sector.
As Chairman, Dr. Bello is expected to lead the CCB in ensuring that public officials adhere to ethical standards and declare their assets as required by law. This step is seen as a strategic move in President Tinubu’s ongoing efforts to curb corruption and promote transparency in public office. The CCB, which plays a vital role in enforcing compliance with the Code of Conduct for public officers, is integral to Nigeria’s anti-corruption framework.
The Federal Executive Council meeting began in earnest following the swearing-in, with President Tinubu presiding. The President reiterated his administration’s commitment to ensuring integrity within government institutions and praised the role of the CCB in this regard.
