ABUJA- The process for appointing a new Accountant General of the Federation, AGF, has commenced, with the federal government shortlisting 14 directors on Grade Level 17 in the federal civil service on Wednesday.

The elevated post became vacant following the suspension of the immediate previous AGF, Ahmed Idris, on charges of N80 billion in financial wrongdoing.
This was stated in a circular sent by Mariya Rufai, Director of Administration, Office of the Accountant General of the Federation, and received by Dr. Folasade Yemi-Esan, Federation Head of Civil Service.

On the list for consideration are Chizea Onochie Peter, Jafiya Shehu Muhammad Murtala Saleh, and Lydia all from the Office of the AGF.

Others included Bakre Modupe Julianah (Police Affairs Ministry), Ibrahim Saadiya Jibo (National Boundary Commission), Omachi Raymond Omenka (Ministry of Interior), Danladi Comfort Zakowi (NSCDC) and Abah George Fidelis (Nigeria Immigration).

Also shortlisted are Mohammed Aminu YarAbba (Federal Fire Service), Samuel Waziri (Ministry of Agric and Rural Development), Mahmud Adam Kambari (North East Development Commission), Mohammed Magaji Doho (Federal Ministry of Education), Mufutahu Bukolah (Federal Ministry of Transportation), and Yusuf Abdullahi Musa (Ministry of Information and Culture).

Chukwuyere Anamekwe who had been in acting capacity was recently removed from office and replaced with a former Director of Treasury Single Account, TSA, Okolieaboh Ezeoke Sylvis.

Many traced Anamekwe’s fate to his disclosure that the federal government was borrowing to pay salaries.
