President Buhari declares asset, submits declaration form

President Muhammadu Buhari has, in compliance with the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, submitted his assets declaration forms to the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB).

Legit.ng notes that submission of assets declaration form, according to Nigeria's constitution, must precede the president's oath-taking which is slated for Wednesday May 29.

A statement by Garba Shehu, the senior special assistant to the president on media and publicity said the duly completed forms were submitted to the chairman of the CCB, Professor Mohammed Isa, on behalf of the president by Sarki Abba, senior special assistant, Household and Domestic Affairs.

There are no new houses, no new bank accounts at home and abroad and there are no new shares acquired.

The chairman of the CCB commended the president for leading by example by declaring his assets in accordance with the law.
