Madein who is the former Director of Finance and Accounts in the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, OHCSF, is stepping in to take over from Mr. Sylva Okolieboh, who had been in acting capacity as the AGF following the suspension of Idris Ahmed from office over allegations of corruption and embezzlement of public funds.
“Ahmed is currently being prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Comission (EFCC) on various corruption charges,” the leadership reported.
