The Auditor-General of the Federation (AuGF), Anthony Ayine, has retired from service.
A statement by the Office of Auditor-General of the Federation said the most senior director in the office, Adolphus Aghughu, will take charge pending the appointment of a substantive auditor-general by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The statement said the former auditor-general carried out several specialised audits ranging from the Integrated Personnel Payment System; Government Integrated Financial Management and Information, and the Nigerian Immigration Service e-passport system.
Ayine also ensured strong collaboration with local and international stakeholders at the International Organisation of Supreme Audit Institutions and African Organisation of Supreme Audit Institutions.
He initiated the Audit Act to help empower the Auditor-General’s office to effectively discharge its responsibility of ensuring government’s accountability to its citizens.
President Buhari had on January 12, 2017 appointed Ayine as auditor-general.
