RESTRICTION ON BUSINESS PARTICIPATION FOR CIVIL
SERVANTS
In Nigeria, all persons in the Civil Service of the Federation
and States are prohibitted from running any private business or
trade except such business is Farming or agricultural business.
It is believed that where Civil servants are permitted to
participate in business, their loyalty or dedication to service
will wane.
But in reality, a good number of civil servants surreptitiously
own businesses outside their jobs.
See Section 6 and Paragraph 10 to the 2nd Schedule to the Code
of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act.
