Recall that Ayine was appointed the AuGF on Jan. 12, 2017 by President
Muhammadu Buhari.
A statement signed by Mr. Rotimi Ajayi, on Thursday in Abuja, said that
the most senior director in the office, Mr. Adolphus Aghughu, would take
charge until a substantive Auditor-General is appointed.
During his stewardship, he carried out several specialised audits
ranging from the Integrated Personnel Payment System; Government
Integrated Financial Management and Information; and the Nigerian
Immigration Service e-passport system.
Ayine also ensured strong collaboration with local and international
stakeholders at the International Organisation of Supreme Audit
Institutions and the African Organisation of Supreme Audit Institutions.
He also initiated the Audit Act to help empower the Auditor-General’s
office to effectively discharge its responsibility of ensuring the
government’s accountability to its citizens. (NAN)
