President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday asked the Senate to consider
and confirm Mr. Anthony Mkpe Ayine, as the Auditor General of the
Federation.
This is contained in a letter by President Buhari to the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, on Tuesday.
President
Buhari noted in the letter read by Saraki that Section 86(1) of 1999
Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, (as amended), states
that the Auditor-General for the Federation shall be appointed by the
President on the recommendation of the Federal Civil Service Commission
subject to confirmation by the Senate.
The
letter added, “In line with this constitutional requirement, the
Federal Civil Service Commission has recommended Mr. Anthony Mkpe Ayine
for appointment as the Auditor-General for the Federation. The
Curriculum Vitae of Mr. A. M. Ayine is herewith attached.
“I have accepted this recommendation and hereby present the nomination of Mr. Anthony Mkpe Ayine for confirmation by the Senate.
“While
hoping that this request will receive the usual expeditious
consideration of the Distinguished Senators, please accept, Mr. Senate
President, the assurances of my highest regards.”
