KIRS STAFF ACQUIRE SUBSTANTIAL KNOWLEDGE OF CODE OF CONDUCT BUREAU REGULATIONS
The significance of integrity and accountability cuts across institutions and remains a fundamental pillar of public service. At the Kano State Internal Revenue Service (KIRS), this commitment took centre stage on Tuesday, 8th September 2026, as staff of the Service received extensive sensitisation on the regulations and requirements of the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) of Nigeria.
The sensitisation programme, held at the Service’s headquarters, featured officials of the Code of Conduct Bureau who educated staff on key provisions of the Bureau’s regulations, as well as the requirements and procedures for completing and submitting the CCB Asset Declaration Form.
Speaking during the exercise, the Kano State Coordinator of the CCB, Hajiya Hadiza Larai Ibrahim, said the programme was organised to demystify certain aspects of the Bureau’s regulations and provide staff with a clearer understanding of their obligations as public officers.
She added that the exercise was also aimed at encouraging the effective completion and submission of the Asset Declaration Forms issued to staff, while guiding them on the appropriate procedures for filling the forms.
Hajiya Larai further disclosed that the deadline for submitting the forms had been extended by one month, giving staff additional time to complete and submit their declarations.
On his part, the Director of Assessment at KIRS, Mallam Hamisu Yakasai, expressed satisfaction with the exercise and commended the Code of Conduct Bureau for its efforts towards promoting transparency, accountability and ethical conduct in public service.
He noted that the programme would enhance staff awareness of their responsibilities and obligations as public officers, while helping to strengthen a culture of integrity within the Service.
The exercise featured enlightenment sessions, question-and-answer segments and interactive discussions between KIRS staff and officials of the Code of Conduct Bureau.
