Army Chief, Buratai, orders all officers to declare their assets

Press statement from the Nigerian Army...
The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General
Tukur Yusuf Buratai has directed all officers
of the Nigerian Army who have not
declared their assets to do so immediately.
He gave the directive today during a
conference with Principal Staff Officers and
Directors serving at the Army Headquarters.
It is to be noted that 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. Copies of both are with 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.
In addition, 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. Colonel Sani
