Bola Tinubu, President of Nigeria has approved the appointment of Mr. Shaakaa Chira as the new Auditor-General of the Federation as recommended by the Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC).
Ajuri Ngelale, in a statement on Friday, said the president appointed Cira based on the powers vested in him by Section 86 of the 1999 Constitution (Amended).
The President approved Chira’s appointment after the Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC) conducted a screening exercise that identified Chira as the most qualified candidate who had also scored the highest in the examination amongst all qualified candidates for the office.
Ngelale said Tinubu expected the new Auditor-General to justify the confidence reposed in him and to live up to the high expectations that Nigerians had concerning the execution of the Renewed Hope Agenda of his administration.
