The high-powered courtesy visit of top Management personnel of the Office of the Auditor-General for the Federation (OAuGF) was informed by the need for both institutions to collaborate, foster mutual understanding and build strong relationships for the purpose of promoting accountability and transparency, which are cornerstones for socio-economic development of any society.

Mr. Ayine expressed the critical importance of auditing to the equally indispensable role of the police in ensuring good governance in the country. He noted inter-alia, that proper auditing of Police’s armoury and other logistics will reveal the true status of supplies and logistics requirement of the Force and no doubt help to facilitate proper planning and budgeting at any point in time.
