Verify and Publish Every Senior Official's Assets
GREEN WHITE GO MANIFESTO — 2026.10.01 · CANONICAL THREE-SENTENCE UNIT
Senior public officials should declare their assets on entry, during service and at exit, with declarations actually examined and meaningfully published subject to lawful privacy and personal-security protections.
Nigeria already has constitutional asset-declaration duties for public officers, while Green White Go proposes a stronger rule of systematic verification and meaningful publication; declaration fields, verification methods, disclosure standards, family or associate rules and sanctions belong in legislation and the Integrity Policy Paper.
The purpose is to make asset declarations a usable accountability record rather than allowing legitimate privacy protections to become hiding places for unexplained wealth.

The purpose is to make asset declarations a usable accountability record rather than allowing legitimate privacy protections to become hiding places for unexplained wealth.
Evidence and limits
Disclosure, audit and fiscal control must be assessed separately. Transparency is not a guarantee of savings, and seeing a financial trail is not authority to spend or seize funds.
The proposal remains distinct from current law and from evidence for individual components.
Evidence notes for this pillarRelated Hard Questions
Delegation must not create an integrity-law loophole. Existing offences apply where they already cover the conduct; specific legal gaps require legislation. Records, audit access, ownership disclosure, conflict rules and public review follow delegated public power. The proposal does not assume every provider employee automatically becomes a constitutional public officer.
No. Senior officials’ declarations should be examined and meaningfully disclosed with lawful privacy and security protection. Investigative access needs lawful purpose, logs, traceability and review. Access to information does not itself authorise search, seizure, restraint or punishment; coercive steps require their own statutory and judicial safeguards.
