President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the appointment of
Oluwatoyin Sakirat Madein as the substantive accountant-general of the
federation.
Mohammed Ahmed, director of communications, office of the
head of civil service, announced Madein’s appointment, in a statement on
Friday.
The appointment took effect on May 18, 2023.
Prior to her appointment, Madien was the director of finance
and accounts in the office of the head of the civil service of the federation.
Maiden has garnered experience in the federal civil service
while working as an accountant, financial manager, and internal auditor in the
last 30 years.
She replaced Sylva Okolieaboh, who was appointed as the
acting accountant-general of the federation after the removal of Chukwuyere
Anamekwe.
Anamekwe was appointed in the acting capacity after Ahmed
Idris was suspended over allegations of N80 billion fraud linked to him.
Idris was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) on May 16 — the anti-graft agency said he had refused to
honour invitations to answer questions on the fraud allegations.
The accountant-general general was subsequently suspended by
Zainab Ahmed, the finance minister, days after his arrest.
