The Kaduna State House Assembly on Tuesday confirmed the appointment of Mr Timothy Bossan as the Auditor General of the state.
The decision followed a request by Gov. Mukhtar Yero, urging the Assembly to confirm Bossan who had been occupying the post in an acting capacity.
At the screening, conducted on the floor of the assembly in Kaduna, Bossan said he would go through previous reports on audited state funds and address areas of need
He said that he would also liaise with relevant committees of the Assembly to improve the ratings of the state.
Bossan said the draft of the 2013 Auditor General’s report was in the governors office and would soon be presented to the assembly.
He pledged that revenue leakages in the state would be checked, especially the receipts and other documents used by revenue generating agencies in the state.
Bossan promised to ensure that all revenues were properly remitted to the coffers of the state.
The Majority Leader, Alhaji Umar Yunusa, later moved a motion for Bossan’s confirmation which was seconded by Mrs Esther Abba, representing Zangon Kataf constituency.
The Speaker, Alhaji Usman Tahir, subsequently announced the confirmation, after majority of the lawmakers endorsed the nomination.
He directed the Clerk of the assembly to convey the decision of the house to Gov. Yero for further action.
