BPSR and CCB Promote Ethical Governance in Nigeria

On June 11, 2026, in Abuja, Mr. Dasuki Ibrahim Arabi, the Director General of the Bureau of Public Service Reform (BPSR), reaffirmed the bureau's commitment to strengthening ethical governance in Nigeria's public service.

He emphasized that the quality of governance largely depends on the ethical behavior of public servants. During a seminar, Dr.

Abdullahi Usman Bello, Chairman of the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB), provided an overview of the 14 codes of conduct that guide public service ethics. He highlighted the importance of compliance to prevent conflicts of interest and ensure asset declaration.

Dr. Bello noted that violations could lead to serious consequences, including removal from office and criminal prosecution.

The seminar was part of BPSR's broader efforts to improve efficiency, transparency, and accountability across Nigerian public service institutions.
