The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project has filed a lawsuit in the Federal High Court, Lagos, against the Code of Conduct Bureau over its claim that it could not disclose details of asset declarations submitted to it by successive presidents and state governors since 1999.

The CCB had last week refused a Freedom of Information request by SERAP, stating that Asset declaration form is private information, and doing so would offend the right to privacy of presidents and state governors.

But in the suit filed last Friday, SERAP argued that Asset declarations of presidents and state governors submitted to the CCB are public documents.

President MUHAMMADU BUHARI has lauded the Vice President, Professor YEMI OSINBAJO, for his contributions towards the success of the current administration.

Speaking when he received the vice president alongside a high-powered who paid him the traditional Sallah homage at the Presidential Villa on Tuesday, President BUHARI said OSINBAJO understood the difficulties they experience while governing the country.

The president asked Professor OSINBAJO to remain an exemplary figure for Nigerians to emulate and jokingly directed him not to complain about the burden of governance, else the government will become unpopular.
