President Muhammadu Buhari’s former aide, Bashir Ahmad, confirmed Nwabuoku’s appointment via his Twitter handle.

“Mr. Anamekwe Chukwunyere Nwabuoku has been appointed to oversee the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation, pending the outcome of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) investigation of the suspended AGF, Ahmad Idris,” he said.

Nwabuoku is expected to carry out his duties in strict compliance with extant rules and observe the highest sense of professionalism. His appointment followed the suspension of Ahmed Idris who is being investigated for allegedly stealing N80 billion.
