THE Auditor General of the Federation, AGF, Samuel Okura,
yesterday, said that the office was under-funded by the Ministry of Finance to
carry out its functions. Okura, who disclosed this during the budget defence of
N2.986 billion appropriated to the office with the Public Accounts Commission,
PAC, against the N5.82 billion it proposed, said with what had been voted to
the office, it was difficult for it to do its work well. He said some people
were afraid that if the office had enough funding, it would be able to expose
ills in the ministries, departments and agencies. According to him, staff of
the AGF’s office do not have accommodation, which makes them attach with the
Ministry of Finance, thereby compromising on their official assignments. Abubakar
