The President of Niger’s National Assembly, Ousmane Sonko, has fulfilled the legal requirement to declare his assets—a mandatory process for designated public officials.

According to the official records released by the National Anti-Corruption Office (OFNAC), the Speaker of Parliament is among the parliamentary leaders who have formally submitted their asset declarations.

Multiple Assembly officials comply with transparency rules

This initiative falls under the broader framework of financial transparency and oversight of high-ranking public officials’ wealth. Other key figures in the Assembly’s leadership, including vice presidents, parliamentary group chairs, and treasurers, have also completed the process.

Asset declarations reinforce accountability

The submission of these declarations marks a critical step in the accountability mechanism applied to relevant officials. Through this system, the OFNAC monitors compliance with declaration obligations and strengthens transparency in public governance.

The timing of Sonko’s declaration aligns with his recent assumption of the Assembly presidency, underscoring the institution’s commitment to ethical standards.
