CCT to storm Akwa Ibom for trial of public officers for breach of ethics

The Code of Conduct Tribunal Chairman, Justice Danladi Yakubu Umar, on Wednesday approved the itinerant session of the Tribunal in Akwa Ibom State for the trial of some senior public officers who have breached the code of conduct ethics.
The itinerant is scheduled to take place from December 6 to 9, 2016 at the State High Court, Uyo.
It involves 50 public officers, comprising ex-Special Advisers, local government counselors that served between 2008 and 2009 and two Clerks from Esit and Etim Local Government Areas.
Tribunal’s itinerant session helps to clear up backlogs of cases in the zone within the period of the session, also make legal services at the door step of the defaulters, particularly the low-ranking public officers, and as well serves as a means of publicizing the activities of the Tribunal within the zone, which subsequently strengthens the relationship between the Code of Conduct Tribunal and the hosting state, whose infrastructure and other logistics would be used for the session.
