CCB commissioner berates staff for writing petitions against one another in Edo

The Federal Commissioner, representing the South-South Zone at the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB), Mr. Ehiozuwa Johnson Agbonnayinma, on Monday berated the staff of the commission in Edo State for writing frivolous petitions against one another instead of focusing on the development of the commission.

Agbonnayinma who expressed his resentment when he visited the Edo State branch of the commission at the Federal Secretariat in Benin City said the reports he had received about the Edo branch of the commission were not healthy for its growth.

“I believe that most of you have gone through the constitution to know exactly the mandate of the Code of Conduct Bureau.

“We have received a lot of petitions between staff against staff. I think we should stop that.

“What I believe in is teamwork. To succeed in life, you must be able to work together, accommodate one another.

“Mr Chairman, Muhammad Isa, who is the chairman, Code of Conduct Bureau, has clearly stated over and over again, along with other nine members, that we must change our attitude and we must be committed, we must work together to bring the Code of Conduct Bureau to where it ought to be,” he admonished.

Agbonnayinma said the commission frowned at the abuse of power, insubordination and the conflict of interests in office and warned that such would not be tolerated in any guise.

He warned staff of the commission against going to the people’s offices to help fill their forms, stressing that those who had any forms to fill, should meet them in their offices.

He added that though the staff of the commission are poorly remunerated, he raised the hope about the efforts being made to address the issue.

He encouraged the staff of the commission to join hands with President Muhammadu Buhari to fight corruption by reporting any acts of corruption to the nearest law enforcement agencies for prosecution.
