The Code of Conduct Bureau has invited the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, over the involvement of his company in an alleged N438m contract scam uncovered in the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation.

The CCB has commenced an investigation into the alleged breach of the Code of Conduct for Public Officers by the Minister.

A company, New Planet Projects, allegedly belonging to the Minister, benefitted from an alleged contract scam from the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs.

A document exclusively obtained by our correspondent on Monday revealed that the CCB invited the embattled minister to appear before it on Tuesday, January 16, 2024, at the CCB Headquarters, Federal Secretariat Complex, Abuja.

The document signed by Gwimi S.P, the CCB Director, Investigation and Monitoring, on behalf of the CCB Chairman, Murtala Aliyu, revealed that the bureau’s invitation is hinged on its mandate and powers as enshrined in the Third Schedule, Part 1, 3 (e) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended.

The letter addressed to the Minister, read, “The bureau is investigating a case of alleged breach of the Code of Conduct for Public Officers in which your name featured prominently. Consequently, you are invited for an interview scheduled as follows:

“Date: Tuesday, 16th January, 2024. Time: 1100hrs prompt. Venue: CCB Headquarters on 5th Floor, Annex III, Phase I, Federal Secretariat Complex, Abuja.

“This invitation is pursuant to the mandate and powers of the Bureau as enshrined in the Third Schedule, Part I, Paragraph 3 (e) to the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended. Please be properly guided
.”

Mr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo is a strong believer of our principle in Nigeria: where man dey work, na for there him dey shop. The only problem is that he has been caught in the act.

But then, the minister has a good plan for his ministry. The reforms are commendable and the milestone achieved so far will collapse if he is sacked. For this, he needs to stay and finish what he started because he's doing a great job in his ministry.

This Betta edu has really risen dust. Dust has affected Tunji.

She and her slayqueens are in grief right now wherever they are.

Like Tunji Ojo, there are so many public office holders who parade their personal company to bid for contracts.........Conflict of interest at play

Rubbish...A thief is not to be exempted from facing the law just because he uses his proceeds from theft for charity. Selective justice isn't right for any society built on strong norms and value system. There are a thousand Nigerians who can still do that brilliant job you are praising him for and still keep their public service integrity unscathed.

Story for the deities. You probably started listening to the news recently or lack emotional intelligence. Nigerians don't come to public service to work. Instead, they come to public service to steal. If you remove this one that is even willing to work, you will replace him with a bigger thief.

There are more than 36 ministers in Nigeria, but just about 4 have active ministers. What does that tell you about Nigerians? Simple: Nigérians are dubious, opportunitistic and hypocritical! Even those who criticize the government aren't any better; they just don't have the privileges government officials enjoy.

Obasanjo still has the best corruption fight leading to convictions.
Fighting corruption has a different meaning with apc because their leaders are swimming in it.

That is rampant because Politicians appoint people to public office who worked for their emergence more often rather than their capacity and integrity in private or public service.

If DSS carries you now, you'd start convulsing like a paralysis patient. If i may ask, what law has he broken and what has he stolen?

Hypocrite...so why is he then being invited by an anti-corruption agency and mentioned in association with the scandal if he broke no law? So you fear the DSS more than you fear being a hypocrite?

The fact that his company's name was mentioned does not make him complicit.

If Tunji Ojo should be spared for whatever reason, Betta Edu should be spared with a last warning for the sake of her gender and age too.

So, a thief come to your house and rob your family blind. Then goes ahead to grade the road in town. You will now praise him for work well done.

This same mindset of yours has kept our country and continent from progressing like the rest of the world.
Tunji Ojo would have turned in his resignation if he were to be a minister in the United Kingdom.
We keep promoting the people who should be in prisons into positions of power in Nigeria.
The man broke the law. Simple, and he should face the consequences.
