The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume, on Tuesday urged the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) to fast-track the digitalisation of its operations to improve case management, records administration and overall efficiency.
According to a statement issued by the Head of Information and Public Relations at the CCT, Chris Ugwuegbulam, Akume made the call when he received the Chairman of the tribunal, Mainasara Kogo, and members of the tribunal’s management team during a courtesy visit to his office in Abuja.
“The Tribunal should continue to embrace technology to improve case management, records administration and overall operational efficiency in line with the Federal Government’s digital transformation agenda,” the SGF said. He noted that the Tinubu administration is committed to modernising public institutions through digital transformation to improve service delivery and inter-agency coordination.
Akume praised the CCT for its role in promoting integrity, accountability and ethical standards across the public service, describing the tribunal as “a vital pillar in the nation’s anti-corruption architecture”. He reiterated that President Bola Tinubu’s administration places a high priority on institutional reforms, public sector efficiency and strict adherence to the rule of law, saying strong institutions are essential for sustainable development, economic growth and investor confidence.
The SGF also called for closer collaboration among government institutions to sustain integrity and accountability, and assured the tribunal of the support of his office “within the limits of its mandate.”

He urged the CCT to continue engaging ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) through public enlightenment, training and enforcement to boost compliance with ethical and constitutional obligations.
Earlier, Kogo told Akume that the visit was to present a one-year scorecard. He said the tribunal had embarked on reforms to strengthen institutional capacity and improve the delivery of justice, including inspection tours of all zonal offices to assess needs, evaluate performance and address operational challenges.
Kogo said the tribunal had deepened cooperation with sister anti-corruption agencies and civil society organisations to harmonise operations and bolster public confidence in the country’s anti-corruption framework. He also announced that all inherited and pending cases had been concluded, leaving the tribunal with no backlog.
The chairman pledged to sustain the reforms, deepen institutional partnerships and continue delivering impartial, timely and efficient justice in line with public expectations.
