President Bola Tinubu has nominated three new members to fill existing vacancies on the board of the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB).

The nominees contained in a formal letter addressed to the President of the Senate, are Alhaji Fatai Ibikunle, Oyo State, Kennedy Ikpeme, Cross River, and Justice Ibrahim Buba, a retired judge of the Federal High Court.
