The Chairman, Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB), Dr. Abdullahi Usman Bello, FCCA, CFE, on 28th January, 2026, led a delegation of the Bureau on a courtesy visit to the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) at its headquarters in Abuja.

Dr. Bello noted that the CCB and CCT share a common constitutional responsibility in enforcing the Code of Conduct for public officers, explaining that while the Bureau is mandated to investigate cases, the Tribunal is responsible for adjudicating breaches.
He emphasised that this complementary relationship makes close collaboration and synergy between both institutions essential.

According to him, effective service delivery requires strong case coordination, timely exchange of information, prompt investigations, and continuous capacity building. He added that the Bureau is strengthening its internal processes, digital platforms, staff capacity, and record-keeping systems to support robust legal investigations and future reference.

Responding, the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, Hon. Dr. Mainasara Umar Kogo, expressed appreciation to the Bureau for the visit, describing the responsibility of promoting ethical conduct and moral rectitude in public service as crucial but challenging, particularly in a society increasingly driven by materialism.
He called for deeper collaboration between the two agencies.

In addition, the CCT Chairman described Dr. Bello as “a gift to Nigeria,” commending him as a technocrat with vast experience and exposure, and reaffirmed the Tribunal’s commitment to strengthening its partnership with the Bureau in the overall interest of good governance.
