The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) has called on all public officers
in the country to promptly make the details of their assets public.
In a statement issued by its factional Deputy President, Issa Aremu
on Sunday, in Kaduna, the NLC commended President Muhammadu Buhari and
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo for making their declared assets public.
The union therefore challenged other elected and appointed public
officers such as governors, state and federal legislators to follow suit
by making their assets public.
“In a country whereby the common wealth had been serially looted by a
few individuals, only those who make sources of their wealth available
to public interrogation will command genuine legitimacy to manage the
affairs of Nigerians, while those who fail to declare their assets would
be seen as looters of the nation’s treasury,” Aremu said.
He stressed that the action of the president and his vice has made
the war against corruption all inclusive, and also imposes a moral
burden on all public office holders.
