Coalition demands expedite action on appointment of Substantive AGF

Issues 30 days Ultimatum to FG, Minister of Finance

Coalition of Civil Society Organisation, under the aegis of Civil Society Group for Good Governance CSGGG, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to expedite action on the appointment of a new Accountant General of the Federation.

The group decrying the government hesitation in appointing a new AGF, recalled that the peaceful protest which held earlier today in Abuja at the Federal Ministry of Finance, is in futherance to the group’s previous actions on the issue which so far yield no result.

The president of the Comrade Ogakwu Dominic addressing newsmen noted that CSOs are concerned about the interim appointment of an acting Accountant general of the federation owing to the sensitive role the office plays in the economic development of the country.

Ogakwu disclosing that concerned CSOs, had overtime selflessly and graciously tasked themselves to hold two press conference, series of media engagement, formal letter to President Muhammadu Buhari, the Secretary to the government of the federation, the Head of Service, the Ministry of Finance and other relevant stakeholders to drive home demands all to no avail, however issued a thirty days ultimatum to the FG for the substantive appointment of a new accountant general of the federation.

A co-convener, Comrade Igwe Ude-Umanta, reiterating the importance of the office, urged Buhari to punish everyone found culpable in frustrating the appointment of a substantive officer, noting that Nigeria cannot be a nation of accountability without the office of the accountant general of the federation.

Meanwhile the Coalition earnestly prayed the Federal Government, Hon. Miinister of Finance, Zainab Ahmed, to avoid the pitfall of recruiting an inexperienced individual to man the office, emphasising that the exercise should be limited to well experienced directors in the pool within the four walls of the ministry.
