Abstract :
Asset declaration is a methodical approach
to managing material resources that ensures correct
use, upkeep, and process documentation. One of the
most crucial weapons for eliminating corruption and
conflicts of interest is a system of income and asset
disclosure. Conflict of interest laws are also helpful in
assisting anti-corruption investigations. The amount of
political corruption in Nigeria is still rising despite
efforts by the previous administration to reduce it. In
order to declare the assets of all political office holders
annually and save the entries in the database, the paper's
proposal for an enhanced system is intended to address
these issues. The information used in this study was
gathered from a variety of secondary sources, including
books, journals, and other websites. Findings indicate
that Nigeria's level of corruption will remain high as
long as the government makes sure that all political
office holders comply as much as possible with reporting
their assets. But every record that the impacted officials
declared would be saved in the database for use.
