Declare Your Assets Immediately- Burutai Orders Army Officers

The Chief of Army Staff, Nigeria Army, Lieutenant General Tukur Yusuf Buratai has mandated all officers of the Nigerian Army who have not yet declared their assets to do so with immediacy.


The Army Chief's directive was delivered today (Thursday) by Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman, acting Director Army Public Relations, during a conference with Principal Staff Officers and Directors serving at the Army Headquarters.

It would be recalled that the Chief of Army Staff declared his assets 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 both copies are available at the Code of Conduct Bureau.

This directive is 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.

 The current drive of the country for probity and accountability also pushed the Army towards taking this step as the Nigerian Army should not only key in but should be one of the key drivers for such laudable project.
