The group urged President Tinubu to urgently propose a constitutional amendment to include provisions on creating asset declaration databases to publish government officials' asset declaration forms before, during, and after serving in public office. The organisation reminded the president, as promised in his inaugural speech on May 29, 2023,"to take proactive steps to discourage corruption" and to ensure that"Nigeria is impartially governed according to the constitution and the rule of law."
It further stated that asset declaration forms are a matter of public interest and that President Tinubu must provide leadership and encourage other high-ranking public officials to harness new technologies to publish the details of their asset declaration forms online and make the forms readily available to the public.
