The federal
government has shortlisted 20 candidates for the position of a new and
substantive accountant-general of the federation (AGF).
According to a circular seen by TheCable, the 20 candidates
were drawn from different ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs).
In May, Ahmed
Idris, the former AGF, was arrested in Kano after he failed to respond to
invitations by the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), to answer questions over an
allegation of N109 billion fraud.
Two days later, Idris was suspended indefinitely “without pay” by Zainab Ahmed, minister of finance, budget and national planning.
Chukwunyere Anamekwe, who was chosen to replace Idris in an
acting capacity, was also removed.
In the circular, the federal government, explained that the
shortlist followed reports of the anti-corruption agencies on the screening of
prospective candidates that applied to participate in the process for the
appointment of a substantive AGF.
It said the accreditation process for the shortlisted
candidates would commence on Monday, January 9.
“Consequently, the
shortlisted candidates are to come for the accreditation exercise scheduled to
take place from Monday 9th to Wednesday 11th January, 2023 at Olusegun Obasanjo
