The Senate has approved the appointment of the nomination of SHAAKAA CHIRA from Taraba State as Auditor General for the Federation.

CHIRA’s approval came shortly after he was screened by the Upper Chamber.

President BOLA TINUBU, on October 20, approved the appointment of CHIRA as the substantive Auditor-General of the Federation, as recommended by the Federal Civil Service Commission.

However, a group, 'Worried Nigerian Citizens', opposed the appointment of CHIRA as the substantive Auditor-General of the Federation.

The group raised concerns about his qualifications and experience.
