President Bola Tinubu has nominated three new members to fill existing vacancies on the board of the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) in what the Presidency says is a move to enhance oversight mechanisms.
A statement by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President (Information & Strategy) on Tuesday said the announcement was made in a formal letter addressed to the Senate President.
The 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.
Established in 1979, the Code of Conduct Bureau plays a critical role in maintaining integrity within public service and ensuring compliance with the country’s ethical standards.
The Bureau operates with a 10-member board.
On October 23, 2024, President Tinubu swore in the chairman of the board, Dr. Abdullahi Usman Bello.
The current board includes: Barr. Muritala Aliyu Kankia, Hon. E J Agbomayinma, Barr. Ben Umeano, and Prof. Juwayriyya Badamasiuy.
