Governor Dauda Lawal's administration investments in health, education, infrastructure, and agriculture are making the desired impact across the state.
According to the Zamfara State Auditor General, Abubakar Damaligi, during a workshop training staff of the Audit Office on performance audits, the state government's investments in these key areas are yielding results. The training was facilitated by Paradigm Leadership Support Initiative through the Office of the Auditor General of the Federation.
Zamfara State Auditor General Abubakar Damaligi has revealed what the public can expect from the state government's performance audit report. He stated that the audit would showcase the impact of the state government's investments in health, education, security, and infrastructure under what he described as the 'Rescue Governor' administration.
Segun Elemo, Executive Director of Paradigm Leadership Support Initiative, stated that the initiative was designed to address gaps in how citizens experience government spending. He noted that performance audit is the only type of audit that can help citizens get value for their money spent by the government.
The Deputy Director in the Office of the Auditor General for the Federation, Dr Clement Ojile, explained that of the three types of audit products - financial, compliance, and performance - only performance audit speaks to the citizen by assessing the impact on lives. Dr Clement Ojile said that it's not enough for accounts to balance; it's more important that money is spent in ways that improve the lives of citizens.
The Paradigm Leadership Support Initiative plans to extend the training to other states, subject to resources. Segun Elemo stated that they have 36 states with 36 audit offices at the state level and another 36 at the local government level.
The training focused on equipping staff with the necessary skills to conduct performance audits aimed at ensuring public funds deliver measurable value to citizens. The workshop is part of efforts by the Office of the Auditor General for the Federation, the Zamfara State Government, and Paradigm Leadership Support Initiative to institutionalise performance audits and strengthen accountability in public expenditure.
