President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of Mr. Shaakaa Chira as the substantive Auditor-General of the Federation.
A statement issued on Friday by presidential spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, said this is in line with the powers vested in him by Section 86 of the 1999 Constitution (Amended).
The statement affirmed that the appointment was as recommended by the Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC).
According to it, the president approved Chira’s appointment after the FCSC conducted a screening exercise that identified him as the most qualified candidate who had also scored the highest in the examination amongst all qualified candidates for the office.
Tinubu expressed the hope in 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.
