He emphasized that his submission of the assets declaration forms was a lawful requirement and a demonstration of his commitment to adhering to the law.

Highlighting his administration’s stance on the matter, Mbah announced that all appointees within his government would also be expected to undergo the assets declaration process.

He underscored the mandatory nature of the procedure, stating, “My administration shall be upholding these requirements for all public officers. It is mandatory and it’s not an option. As public servants, we are not left with any option but to fill our CCB forms. We must abide by the provisions of the law.”

Commending Mbah’s exemplary leadership, Barrister Umeano, the CCB Federal Commissioner, remarked, “By the grace of God, by Monday, he (Mbah) will be the chief law officer of the state. By this submission, he has shown that he is going to lead by example.
