In an effort to strengthen the oversight mechanisms within the country, President Bola Tinubu has nominated three individuals to fill existing vacancies on the Board of the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB).
The nominations were formally communicated through a letter sent to the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.
According to a statement released by the Presidential spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, on Tuesday night, the new nominees are Alhaji Fatai Ibikunle from Oyo State, Kennedy Ikpeme from Cross River, and Justice Ibrahim Buba, a retired judge of the Federal High Court.
The Code of Conduct Bureau, established in 1979, plays a pivotal role in upholding integrity within public service and ensuring adherence to ethical standards. The Bureau is governed by a 10-member Board.
President Tinubu had previously sworn in Dr. Abdullahi Usman Bello as the Chairman of the Board on October 23, 2024. Other members of the current board include Barr. Muritala Aliyu Kankia, Hon. E.J. Agbomayinma, Barr. Ben Umeano, Prof. Juwayriyya Badamasiuy, Mr. Bulus I Zephaniah, and Hon. Abdulsalam Taofiq Olawale.
