CITING dwindling revenue from oil, the
Accountant General of the Federation, Alhaji
Ahmed Idris yesterday tasked public office
holders over efficient and judicious management
of government funds.
The AGF gave the charge yesterday while
hosting members of Association of National
Accountants of Nigeria (ANAN) in his office.
He stressed that at challenging moments in the
nation’s history when government’s resources
have grown so lean due to certain
circumstances, it was only imperative for public
office holders to shun corruption and ensure that
funds allocated to projects were prudently
managed.
Commending his guests and colleagues for their
visit, Alhaji Ahmed also charged ANAN and other
accounting professional bodies in the country to
champion the anti-graft crusade by ensuring they
adhere to ethics and standards in the discharge
of their duties.
Reacting to the call for synergy between the
office of AGF and the professional body, Ahmed
assured that his office would be neutral in
dealing with professional bodies. According to
him, all would be given opportunity to collaborate
in ensuring that those in places of authority
properly manage the nation’s lean revenue.
Earlier, the delegation led by its President, Chief
Anthony Chukwuemeka Nzom, had pledged its
support and willingness to collaborate with the
AGF, who according to members was the first
ANAN member to be appointed AGF.
Noting that the institution has graduated from
the conventional duties to include fraud
management and forensic accounting, the
President urged the AGF to avail professional
staff the opportunity to build their capacity in
ANAN affiliated institutions.
Nzom, who took time to chronicle other
achievements of ANAN and declared its assets
also pledged to raise the institution to
international standard.
