The Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) has invited the Minister of Interior, OLUBUNMI TUNJI-OJO, over the allegation that his firm – New Planet Projects, – was involved in a now controversial 438 million naira contract with the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation.

The invitation extended to the minister was in furtherance of an ongoing investigation on the issue by the CCB on the grounds that TUNJI-OJO might have violated the Code of Conduct for Public Officers.

The invitation requested the minister to among others, appear before its investigating committee today at the CCB headquarters within the Federal Secretariat Complex, Abuja.

The minister is expected to interact with the agency’s investigators to assist in ascertaining whether he acted in breach of the relevant rules.
