Workers in Oyo State have been urged to see the Code of Conduct Bureau as a key institution responsible for promoting transparency and ensuring the proper use of public funds.
The call was made by the Commissioner for Finance, Akinola Ojo, during a one-day training programme organised for staff of the Ministry of Finance on the bureau’s regulations and the Assets and Liabilities Declaration Form for public officials.
According to a statement issued by the Commissioner for Information, Dotun Oyelade, the training took place at the ministry’s conference room in Ibadan.
Ojo emphasised the significance of the asset declaration process, noting that the bureau performs an important national duty by strengthening accountability and transparency within the public service.
He explained that public officials must complete the forms accurately and honestly in order to avoid possible complications in the future.
“We must treat this training with utmost importance. As we fill out these forms, we must ensure we do the right thing so that it does not become an issue in the future,” the commissioner said.
He further noted that the training offered participants the opportunity to gain a clearer understanding of the asset declaration process through guidance from experienced facilitators.
