The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), on Sunday called on all public officers in the country to publish details of their assets without delay.
In a statement issued by its factional Deputy President, Issa Aremu in Kaduna, the union while commending President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo for making their declared assets public, called on elected and appointed public officers such as governors, state and federal legislators to follow suit.
It stated that the action of the president and his vice had made the war against corruption all inclusive, and also imposed a moral burden on all public office holders.
“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,” NLC said.
