The federal government has asked qualified civil servants to
apply for the role of accountant general.
This development is coming after Idris Ahmed, former
accountant general of the federation was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC) over alleged N80 billion fraud.
Idris was then suspended by Zainab Ahmed, minister for
finance while the case was being investigated.
The federal government had however approved the appointment
of Anamekwe Nwabuoku to oversee the office.
In a circular dated June 21, 2022, Folasade Yemi-Esan, head
of the civil service of the federation said the process of appointment of a
substantive accountant general of the federation has commenced.
According to Yemi-Esan, the application was approved by
President Muhammadu Buhari.
The role is open to all directors and accountants in the
mainstream who are not retiring before the end of 2024.
“Following the
