President Muhammadu Buhari has instructed the Auditor-General of the Federation to conclusively resolve all outstanding audit queries within 30 days.
The development was made public on Sunday, by the President’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu.
Shehu said the era of unanswered queries is over as President Buhari has also directed that henceforth, all audit queries must be answered within 24 hours.
“The era of impunity is gone. The president is taking the war on corruption to the civil service. He is not happy that standard operating procedures and financial regulations are no longer being observed as they should.
“President Buhari will ensure that public officials and civil servants in the service of the Federal Government pay a heavy price from now on for violating financial regulations or disregarding audit queries.”
“On his watch, President Buhari wants to see firm action against those who violate extant financial regulations, not the prevarications and shenanigans that went on in the past in the form of endless probes and public inquiries.”
