Nigerian Army officers to declare their assets
By OKOSUN DENNIS
A new wind of change is sweeping through the Nigerian Army as officers of the force have been tasked by the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Yusuf Buratai to declare their assets with immediate effect.
The COAS gave this directive on Wednesday in Abuja during a conference with Principal Staff Officers and Directors serving at the Army Headquarters.
In line with the new order, the Chief of Army Staff has done so soon on his appointment as Commander, Multinational Joint Task Force in May 2015 and also on his appointment as Chief of Army Staff in July 2015 and has submitted copies of both declarations to the Code of Conduct Bureau.
He said that the directive was in order, considering the fact that all military officers are having Presidential Commission and are public servants, as well as subject to both civil and military laws.
According to the Director Army Public Relations, Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman added that “given the current drive of the country for probity and accountability, the Nigerian Army should not only key in but should be one of the key drivers for such laudable project,” he stated.
