President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of Mr. Shaakaa Chira as the substantive Auditor-General of the Federation and in line with the powers vested in him by Section 86 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), following the recommendation of the Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC).
The Spokesman to the President, Ajuri Ngelale, also disclosed in a statement made available on Friday that President approved Chira’s appointment after the FCSC conducted a screening exercise that identified Chira as the most qualified candidate who had also scored the highest in the examination amongst all qualified candidates for the office.
The statement reads in part, “President Bola Tinubu expects the new Auditor-General to justify the confidence reposed in him and to live up to the high expectations that Nigerians have concerning the execution of the Renewed Hope Agenda of his administration.”
