Buratai wants army officers declare assets

I think there may be a small mistake in your question. Buratai is a surname, and I'm assuming you meant to ask about Tukur Yusuf Buratai, the former Chief of Army Staff of the Nigerian Army.

To answer your question, yes, Tukur Yusuf Buratai, as the Chief of Army Staff, had indeed called for Nigerian Army officers to declare their assets. In 2017, he issued a directive to all military personnel, including officers, to declare their assets as part of efforts to curb corruption and promote transparency within the military.

The directive was aimed at ensuring that military personnel, who are expected to be role models, do not engage in corrupt practices and that their assets are not used to perpetuate corruption. The declaration of assets was also seen as a way to promote transparency and accountability within the military.

It's worth noting that the directive was part of a broader effort by the Nigerian government to combat corruption and promote transparency and accountability across all sectors of society.
