The civil service has been disturbed by rot and thriving corruption, which has cost the country trillions of naira. Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has taken his anti-graft war to the sector. He has ordered that all outstanding audit queries which had piled up over the years be resolved within the next 30 days.hmmmmmmm
Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media & Publicity,
Malam Garba Shehu, said the unanswered audit queries sounded unsavoury to the President who, on hearing it, expressed his displeasure. An audit query is the request for an explanation by the Auditor-General of the Federation over improprieties discovered in the Accountant-General of the Federation’s report.
