The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, has urged President Bola Tinubu to appoint a substantive Auditor-General of the Federation. Kalu said it was a sensitive office that could not continue to have an acting director for over a year.

He made the call during the unveiling of the House Committee on Public Accounts and a workshop organised for its members by the Africa Development Study Centre in Abuja. The Deputy Speaker said when that was done, it would send the right signal out that the government is ready to pursue taxpayers' money and ensure effective usage.
