President Muhammadu Buhari has called on Auditors-General across the country to introduce strategies that will help stamp out corruption from the system.
President Buhari, represented by Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo, gave the advice while declaring open the 2021 Conference of Auditors-General in Nigeria in Benin.
The theme of the programme is “Securing Audit Independence Sustainability: The Urgency of Now”.
The president said that the efforts to enthrone good governance and accountability across ties of government could not yield the desired positive results if auditors- general did not stand up to play constitutional role as the people’s watchdog.
He assured the Auditor-General of the Federation that his administration would continue to support him to enable him to discharge his constitutional mandate.
Earlier, Auditor-General of the Federation, Aghughu Arhotomhenla, in an address of welcome, commended Buhari for not interfering in his functions since assuming office.
