Tag igp says police officers must declare assets

I think you meant to say "IGP" stands for Inspector-General of Police, not "tag igp".

Yes, you are correct. In many countries, including Nigeria, the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) has issued directives or guidelines requiring police officers to declare their assets. This is a measure to promote transparency, accountability, and good governance within the police force.

In Nigeria, for instance, the IGP has issued several circulars and guidelines requiring police officers to declare their assets, including:

1. The Declaration of Assets and Liabilities by Public Officers (Appointment and Tenure of Office) Act, 2005, which requires public officers, including police officers, to declare their assets and liabilities within 30 days of taking office or within 30 days of leaving office.
2. The Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) Act, 1991, which requires public officers to declare their assets and liabilities to the CCB.

The purpose of these requirements is to ensure that police officers, like other public officers, are transparent about their financial dealings and do not engage in corrupt practices. By declaring their assets, police officers can demonstrate their commitment to transparency and accountability, which is essential for maintaining public trust and confidence in the police force.
