The main function of the Code of Conduct Bureau is to ensure accountability in government business. The Code of Conduct Bureau is a government agency responsible for maintaining the standards of conduct for public officials in Nigeria. It ensures that public officials, such as elected officials, civil servants, and other government employees, adhere to the ethical standards and codes of conduct established by the government. One of the key responsibilities of the Code of Conduct Bureau is to receive and verify the asset declarations of public officials. This helps to ensure that public officials are not using their positions to engage in corrupt practices, and that their wealth is acquired through legitimate means. The Code of Conduct Bureau also investigates and enforces compliance with the Code of Conduct for public officials. It has the power to initiate legal proceedings against public officials who violate the Code of Conduct, and to recommend appropriate sanctions or penalties, such as removal from office, fines, or imprisonment. In contrast, giving the judiciary more powers to discipline erring judges, protecting public officers from the press, and giving the police more powers to make arrests are not functions of the Code of Conduct Bureau.
