The President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, have declared their assets, as required by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria but not made public as earlier promised during their campaign.

In his reaction to newsmen on why the assets weren’t made public,the head of President Buhari’s Media Team, Garba Shehu said,“President Muhammadu Buhari has declared his assets to the Code of Conduct Bureau as required by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

If anyone is interested in knowing details of his asset worth, such a person can avail himself or herself of the use of Freedom of Information (FOI) Act to seek the information from the bureau.”


“The Code of Conduct Bureau on Friday acknowledged the submission of President Buhari’s and Vice President Osinbajo’s assets declaration form submitted separately on May 28, and signed for by the organisation’s Chairman, Sam Saba. President Buhari’s Declarant ID was given as: ‘President: 000001/2015?,” the statement read.

The Nigerian Constitution states in Chapter VI Section 140, that a person elected to the office of President shall not begin to perform the functions of that office until he has declared his assets and liabilities as prescribed in the Constitution.
