#LiveReport: The panel discussion and virtual launch of our Asset Declaration Report titled: NO ESCAPE FOR THE CORRUPT: LIFTING THE LID ON ASSET DECLARATIONS IN NIGERIA is underway.
Moderator: @MaupeO
#AssetDeclaration Image
The Asset Declaration Report by SERAP gives a global perspective of what forms assets declaration.
The report also comes with ideas on how the asset declarations scheme can be made robust & implemented. - Prof. Akinseye George SAN
#AssetDeclaration
#LiveReport
High ranking officials and officials who work in revenue generation agencies, should have their assets declaration also verified before admittance. - Prof. Akinseye-George SAN
#AssetDeclaration
#LiveReport Image
"If your assets and wealth are not ill-gotten, personally I do not think you have anything to fear" - Prof. Akinseye-George SAN
#AssetDeclaration Image
There should be room for verification of Assets declaration by the Code of Conduct Bureau and the civil society. - Prof. Akinseye-George, SAN
#AssetDeclaration
Verification of assets is a lofty ideal but it might be very hard to do especially if assets declared are "scattered" across international borders. - MR. Shina Fagbenro- Byron
#AssetDeclaration Image
The various govt agencies which have been put in place to ensure transparency & tackle corruption do not seem to work hand in hand.Therefore makes coordination very difficult.
Also, public interest should be activated in assets declaration.- @AmnestyNigeria Director,@livingtruely
No reforms will come without strong demands from the media and civil society. - Prof. Akinseye-George, SAN
#AssetDeclaration
Some hindrances in CCB's way
- Effective lands registry not in place
- Company registration is in a mess, especially with verification of sponsors of these companies.
- Assets registry not in place.
- Banks' cooperation
Prof. Akinseye-George, SAN
#AssetDeclaration
Civil society must act as a watchdog rather than a bloodhound. - Mr. Shina Fagbenro-Byron
#AssetDeclaration
#LiveReport Image
The present government isn't known for its coordination.
That is why government agencies tend to go outside their purview and jurisdiction, nosing into what a different bureau should ordinarily handle. - Mr. Shina Fagbenro-Byron
#AssetDeclaration Image
The political elite, if they wanna be sincere with themselves, know what to do to strengthen the CCB and other agencies. They are simply not keen! - Prof. Akinseye-George, SAN.
#AssetDeclaration
#LiveReport
Until we are ready to deal with professional corruptionists, we are not going anywhere. - Femi Falana, SAN
#AssetDeclaration
#LiveReport
The CCB should definitely be fully independent for them to effectively function. - MR. Shina Fagbenro-Byron
#AssetDeclaration
The CCB cannot continually be an appendage of the Executive. - Prof. Akinsye-George, SAN.
#AssetDeclaration
The fight against corruption isn't an individual thing. let's join hands to win this fight - @AmnestyNigeria Director, @livingtruely Image

BREAKING: Following reports that terrorists have killed three abducted Kaduna varsity students, SERAP is calling on @mbachelet @UNHumanRights to appoint an envoy to visit Nigeria to investigate the mounting attacks on students, teachers and their families across the country.
The killing of these students is a grim reminder of the horrific toll that the violence and insecurity across Nigeria is having on children and their education.

The attacks on students are increasing, and Nigerian authorities are unwilling or unable to stop the attacks.
The authorities have refused to promptly and effectively investigate reports of attacks on students, teachers and their families, to prosecute the terrorists and their sponsors, and to provide effective remedies to victims.

BREAKING: We are concerned about reports that the Publisher of Daily Nigerian Newspaper, Jaafar Jaafar, has gone into hiding after reportedly receiving threats to his life, for allegedly releasing video clips showing alleged bribery against Kano State Governor Abdullahi Ganduje.
We urge President Buhari @MBuhari and @NigeriaGov to instruct @PoliceNG, the Attorney General and/or appropriate anti-corruption agencies to ensure and guarantee the safety and security of Mr Jaafar Jaafar and his family.
Nigerian authorities should promptly, thoroughly and transparently investigate the allegations of threats against Mr Jaafar Jaafar, publish the findings of the investigation, and bring to justice anyone suspected to be responsible.

BREAKING: We’ve urged RMAFC to urgently review upward the remuneration, allowances, and conditions of service for judges, and to review downward the remuneration and allowances of President Buhari, 36 governors and members of @nassnigeria to address the poor treatment of judges.
In the letter sent yesterday, we urged Engr. Elias Mbam, Chairman, Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) “to send your review and recommendations to @nassnigeria for appropriate legislative action, as provided for by the Nigerian Constitution 1999.”
The letter followed the nationwide industrial action by the JUSUN to press home their demand for financial autonomy for the judicial arm of government, and the federal government’s silence on the judiciary workers’ strike that has grounded courts across the country.
