Niger State Threatens Sack for Officials Refusing Asset Declaration

The Niger State government has warned political appointees, including directors and managers, to declare their assets or face dismissal. Governor Moham Umaru Bago expressed dissatisfaction with non-compliance and directed the Secretary to the State Government, Abubakar Usman, to ensure immediate compliance.

Failure to declare assets could lead to breaching the constitution and facing trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal. The government emphasizes transparency and good governance, urging appointees to visit the Code of Conduct Bureau office in Minna for regular asset declarations.
