President Muhammadu Buhari has directed that henceforth all audit queries be answered within 24 hours.
This is even as he directed the Auditor General of the Federation to ensure the conclusive resolution of all outstanding audit queries within the next 30 days .
A statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President (Media & Publicity), Garba Shehu, said the directive followed the President’s displeasure after being informed that audit queries remained unanswered for long periods, sometimes running into years, under previous administrations.
Shehu said President Buhari was irrevocably committed to tackling administrative 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,” 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,” Shehu said.

Kpomkwem!

The country was on auto pilot for 16 years under PDP, till this pilot (Buhari) took over. Now the airplane is headed in the right direction

That shows the gross incompetence that was recorded in previous administrations.
How can an audit query be left unanswered for months and years?
24 hours is too much self?
Civil Service is one of the major problems of this country. The Civil Servants teach politicians how to loot and steal from the nation's treasury.
They should be made to sit up and do the work they are paid to do.
