The verification of assets declared by state governors, their deputies, commissioners and other political office holders across the 36 states of the federation may soon become a source of worry as the Code of Conduct Bureau fails to fund its state offices nationwide.

The 36 state offices of the CCB are in charge of thousands of asset declaration forms and the accompanying asset ownership documents belonging to political office holders and career civil servants resident in the various states.

It was revealed on Wednesday that the CCB headquarters in Abuja currently owes its 36 state offices running cost allowances for about seven months.

According to officials, over 1,000 political office holders and career civil servants’ asset declaration forms and asset documents are handled by each of the 36 state CCB offices.
