The Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government has shortlisted 14 Directors for the job of Account Accountant-General of the Federation (AGF).

Recall that Buhari had replaced Mr. Chukwuyere N. Anamekwe as the acting Accountant-General of the Federation (AGF).

Naija News gathered that Anamekwe was replaced over allegations of corruption and investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) hanging around his neck.

It was further gathered according to reports that he was replaced with a former TSA (Treasury Single Account) Director, Mr. Okolieaboh Ezeoke Sylvis.

It will be recalled that Anamekwe was appointed in an acting capacity after Ahmed Idris was suspended after his embroilment in an N80 billion fraud case leading to his subsequent arrest by the EFCC on allegations of money laundering through real estate investments in Kano and Abuja.

Naija News understands that a fresh circular from the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF) signed by Mariya A. D. Rufai, Director (Administration) was received by the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (HoS) on July 6.
