NANS wants more powers for CCB

The Lagos State chapter of the National Association of
Nigerian Students has charged the Federal Government
to empower the Code of Conduct Bureau so as to
uncover politicians at state and local government levels
with false declaration of assets.
Chairman of the NANS Joint Campus Committee in the
state, Sulaimon Sanusi, on Tuesday, said that
empowering the CCB would allow it to unmask corrupt
governors.
The statement read, “Without sentiment or bias, we,
the National Association of Nigerian Students in the
Lagos axis, charge the Federal Government to empower
the Code of Conduct Bureau with the optimal powers
necessary for them to ensure that they spread their
tentacles beyond the federal authority alone and they
should ensure they are not selective in the corruption
fight.
“In the famous words of the late Filipino senator,
Ninoy Aquino, this is a dangerous place to live in, not
because of the people who do wrong things, but
because of the people who let wrong things happen.
“It is important that the CCB also goes after those
governors who served in the same period when the
senate president was serving as the governor.”
