The Federal Government has issued a circular for the commencement of the recruitment process for the new Accountant-General of the Federation.
Our correspondent gathered that eight qualified directors on grade level 17 were shortlisted from the Office of the Accountant-General to join some other candidates.
It was also learnt that a complete list of candidates who would participate in the screening process would be made public before the screening.
A source said, “Eight directors were screened from the Office of the Accountant-General, and they will be participating in the process. The full list will be out very soon for all to see. There have been a series of issues over this particular recruitment.”
Corroborating the claim, another source said, “I can’t give you the full number yet, but eight directors are coming from the Accountant-General’s office.”
The appointment process is coming close to five months after the Office of the Head of Service made public a notice asking qualified directors to make their intentions known.
This is following the suspension of the AGF, Ahmed Idris, over issues bordering on misappropriation of funds to the tune of N80bn.
