HYPPADEC tasks workers on asset declaration

The Hydroelectric Power Producing Areas Development Commission (HYPPADEC) on Monday assured that President Muhammadu Buhari’s government remained committed to fighting corruption in the country at all levels.

The managing director/chief executive of the commission, Abubakar Sadiq Yelwa, gave the assurance in Makurdi during a two-day training workshop on “Compliance with Assets Declaration and Code of Conduct for Public Officers,” organised and sponsored by the commission.

Yelwa tasked all public officers, irrespective of their rank, to declare their assets in line with the provisions of the Code of Conduct in order to maintain high ethical standards in the course of discharging their duties.

The HYPPADEC chief, who was represented by the director of administration, Dr Murtala Marshal, also stressed the need for public officers to declare their assets immediately after taking office and thereafter at the end of every four years, adding that they were equally required to do so at the end of their term in office.

“After this training, therefore, we expect each and every one of you, the trainees, to comply with the federal government’s rule and regulation on asset declaration,” he added.
