He said that the President approved Mr Chira’s appointment after a Federal Civil Service Commission confirmed him as the most qualified candidate out of those screened.

Mr Ngelale said that the President tasked the new auditor-general to justify the confidence reposed in him and live up to the expectations of Nigerians.
