President Muhammadu Buhari has directed the Auditor-General of the Federation to ensure that all outstanding audit queries are conclusively resolved within 30 days.

Mr. Buhari has also ordered that henceforth, all audit queries must be answered within 24 hours.
The orders followed the President’s displeasure on hearing that audit queries remained unanswered for long periods, sometimes running into years, under previous istrations.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President (Media & Publicity), Garba Shehu, confirmed the directives, adding that President Buhari was irrevocably committed to tackling istrative and bureaucratic corruption head-on.

“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,” Mr. Garba said.

He added that the President was determined to put an end to the present situation in which, rather than respond to legitimate audit queries, violators of financial regulations in the Federal Government resort to threatening, bribing or mounting other forms of social pressure on auditors.

“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,” the Presidential spokesman said.

No more business as usual

Is that why federal civil servants are yet to get paid?

Jonathan paid on or before 25th but Buhari has never kept to that date and now salaries are getting deep into the next month before being paid.

My sai buhari if you are chess player you are probably a chess genius making the right moves all the time at the right place and right time.

If you fail to audit you enter one chance with my sai buhari

Good move by the president but the directive should be directed more at the civil/public servants. Only the National assembly has the power to direct the Auditor General on how to go about doing his job. The president doesn't have such powers.

By and large, it is good the president is taking the issue of unanswered audit queries seriously. He should take it a step further by g into law the federal audit bill recently ed by the national assembly. That bill will seriously enhance the duties of the auditor general.

Ok

Polithiefcians don enter one chance

Hope you did so too? Leadership by example.
But we never see your declared assets o.

Why must salaries be paid on 25th?

The important thing is to pay by month end. Do you have any evidence that payment is delayed?

By the way, do you know that GEJ borrowed to pay in March and April of this year? Such a useless government.

My signature is ing a message to you.

This is the change we voted for. It's glaringly clear that PMB has low tolerance for rogue nationalists and civil servants. Never again shall we go back to the days of the wasteful kleptomaniac from otuoke who thinks that "Stealing is not corruption" Tufiakwa!!! Change has come to stay, no more business as usual .

Oooooh! Mr Soja

To much talk we need action,all these talk do not put food on the table.

Okay ma

But why didn't Buhari first contest as Kastina Governor and make the state the envy of all, then contest as president and repeat the achievement. Cus as e be now e be like say the guy de time de learn president work. Time no de, I don taya for talk talk.

God help u sir

Baba ain't smiling.
Change maybe slow but it will surely touch every sector in the fullness of time.

No time for book cooking

That's more like it.

Thank u Mr president.

If jonathan was still there, that 25th u are wailing about would have become 27th of the following month becos corouption would have eaten into salaries.instead of u to appreciate a new Nigeria, you are there wailing!
Wailing wailers keep wailing! You will wail till 2023
