Reps To Tinubu: We Can't Afford To Have Acting Auditor General

The House of Representatives on Monday told President Bola Tinubu that the country can not afford to have a director or any official with whatever designation, acting as Auditor-General of the Federation, considering the importance of the office.A director, Andrew Ogochukwu Onwudili has been overseeing the office of the Auditor-General of the Federation since September 2022, with calls from several quarters for him or another person to be appointed substantively to no avail.

“We urge Mr President to look into confirming the person who is there or anybody of his choice to take up the role of Auditor-General of this country, it will send the right signal that this government is ready to pursue taxes,” he said.Kalu also said at least, one percent of the total budget of the federation should be allocated to the Office of Auditor-General, stressing that, that is what the office needs if it must do its job and “do it very well.

“Let me mention that I heard the chairman’s request that the office of the accountant general make provision for a bus that will help the committee do their job. In his remarks, PAC Chairman, Salam said the Committee is ready to hit the ground running with the vision to deliver on its mandate as enshrined in the 1999 constitution.
