The Acting Chairman of the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB), Barrister Murtala Aliyu Kankia, has charged the staff to strengthen their resolve to tackle corruption in alignment with the renewed hope agenda of the current administration.
He said this on Tuesday in Abuja on the sidelines of a staff training programme designed to enhance ethical compliance and operational efficiency within the bureau.
The training, themed ‘Enhancing Ethical Compliance and Accountability in Public Office: Strengthening Operational Efficiency within the Code of Conduct Bureau’, brought together intermediate-level staff from across the country.
Kankia noted the pivotal role his staff play in the fight against corruption, saying their dedication has emboldened him to pursue this goal with greater vigour.

“The support and hard work exhibited by my team give me the courage to do more in this fight against corruption,” he said.
The acting chairman highlighted the importance of such gatherings, saying “This training is crucial because it allows us to reflect on our roles and responsibilities as members of an agency tasked with the significant duty of combating corruption.”
Kankia further emphasised the need to equip CCB staff with the necessary tools and knowledge to meet public expectations.
He said, “Providing our staff with the skills and understanding they need is essential for fulfilling the expectations of the Nigerian people. This is why we have decided to conduct this training-to contribute to the success of the administration’s renewed hope agenda.”
He urged the participants to share the knowledge gained with their colleagues, especially those unable to attend.
“You are here on merit. Share what you learn with your peers, so we can collectively carry out our constitutional responsibilities effectively,” he said.
In his remarks, the CCB’s Director of Human Resources, Akinola Aramide-Atolagbe, outlined the strategic approach to staff training.
“We are segmenting our staff into basic, intermediate and advanced groups. Today’s training focuses on the intermediate staff, and we will continue this cycle to ensure continuous improvement.
“The participants, drawn from the headquarters and across Nigeria’s 36 states and the FCT, were urged to make the most of the training and return with practical skills to improve their work efficiency,” he said.
