President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Mr. Shaakaa Chira as the substantive Auditor-General of the Federation
Presidential spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, announced this in a statement on Friday.
According to him, the appointment comes after a recommendation by the Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC).
He said the President exercised the powers vested in him by Section 86 of the 1999 Constitution (Amended).
“The President approved Mr. Chira’s appointment after the Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC) conducted a screening exercise that identified Mr. Chira as the most qualified candidate who had also scored the highest in the examination amongst all qualified candidates for the office.
“President Bola Tinubu expects 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,” the statement said.
