It was learned at the weekend that the Federal Government replaced Mr. Chukwuyere N. Anamekwe as the acting Accountant-General of the Federation (AGF).
He was replaced two weeks ago with AGF Mr. Okolieaboh Ezeoke Sylvis, a former TSA (Treasury Single Account) Director.
Anamekwe’s replacement followed allegations that he was being investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
It was also gathered that the government was not comfortable with his revelation that it was borrowing to pay salaries.
Anamekwe was appointed acting AGF on May 22. Seven days after he made the controversial remark on government borrowing to pay salaries on June 14, he was replaced.
A source told Checkout Magazine that the Federal Government has initiated a search for a new AGF.
The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (HoCSF), Mrs. Folasade Yemi-Esan has issued a circular to that effect.
