Auditor-General nominee faces Senate screening today

Published by

Nominee for the position of new Auditor-General of the Federation (AuGF), Mr Anthony Mkpe Ayine, is to appear before the Senate Public Accounts Committee today for screening to fill  the position which has remained vacant following the retirement of Mr Samuel Ukura in June last year.

The post of  Auditor-General of the Federation is very important to the present administration’s fight against corruption, because two senior officials that have acted have limitations to how far they can go because they are not substantive.

The Federal Government’s 2015 financial statement has been stalled since the retirement of the last Auditor-General.

Ayine, the Cross River State-born Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) is the current Auditor-General in the employ of Cross River State, with over 18 years professional qualification.

He was selected by President Muhammadu Buhari, following his emergence as the best among the last three candidates in a keenly-contested selection examination organised by the Federal Civil Service Commission.
