“The Code of Conduct for Public Officers is not just a rulebook, it is the moral and ethical bedrock of our public service,” declared the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Chief Lateef Fagbemi, SAN. He noted that the jurisdiction of the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) extends beyond the public sector, covering private companies where the government holds a controlling interest.

Speaking at the launch of the Virtual Tool on the Code of Conduct for Public Officers, the AGF stressed that these standards are the very foundation of public trust and guide not just public servants but also employees of government-controlled companies.

Importantly, the AGF emphasised that the new digital platform is in sync with the National Anti-Corruption Strategy, reinforcing transparency, accountability, and ethical leadership across all sectors.
