President Muhammadu Buhari has, in compliance with the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria, submitted his assets declaration forms to the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB), which by law must precede his oath-taking slated for Wednesday.

Garba Shehu, senior special assistant to the president, media and publicity, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja.

The duly completed forms were submitted to Mohammed Isa, the chairman of the CCB, on behalf of the president by Sarki Abba, senior special assistant, household and domestic affairs.

The forms, as signed by the president and sworn to before a judge of the Abuja high court, showed no significant changes in assets as declared in 2015 by him.

“There are no new houses, no new bank accounts at home and abroad and there are no new shares acquired,” it read.

“The Chairman of the CCB commended the Pesident for leading by example by declaring his assets in accordance with the law.”

Buhari had signed the 2019 appropriation bill of N8.91 trillion into law on Monday, less than 48 hours to his inauguration for a second term as president.

He will also be ending his four-year tenure without constituting boards of (these) 10 agencies.
