NEWLY screened and confirmed 54-year old Oluwole Adeuya has promised to bring integrity into the state financial auditing system.

Speaking to newsmen shortly after his confirmation as the new Ekiti State Auditor-General by the Ekiti House of Assembly, Adeuya called on Internal Auditors and others stakeholders in the state to always be alive to their responsibilities.

Adeuya; born on April 19, 1966, was screened and confirmed as the new State Auditor-General at its Wednesday plenary presided over by the Speaker, Funminiyi Afuye, at the Assembly complex, Ado-Ekiti, the state capital, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.

Afuye had earlier read the letter from Governor Kayode Fayemi requesting the Assembly’s confirmation of Adeuya as the Auditor-General of Ekiti.

The Majority Leader, Gboyega Aribisogan, and Stephen Aribasoye, APC, Ikole 1 & 2 Constituencies respectively eulogised Adeuya, describing him as fit for the job.

Aribasoye described the new State Auditor-General as an “intelligent, resourceful and a team leader”, calling on members to speedily confirm his nomination.

Also, Olubunmi Adelugba, APC, Emure  and Abiodun Fawekun, APC, Ido/Osi 1 urged their colleagues to confirm Adeuya, while Akin Oso, APC, Ido/Osi 2 described him as a “round peg in a round hole.”

In his speech, Adeuya, who hails from Ido-Ekiti in Ido/Osi Local Government Area, promised to bring integrity into the state financial auditing system. He also called on Internal Auditors and others stakeholders in the state to always be alive to their responsibilities.

He said: “whoever that is found wanting in the discharge of his or her duties would be made to face the wrath of the law.”

“I am going to uphold the ethics of diligence and honesty to this administration and subsequent ones as the Auditor General of the state.

“We will assist the government to grow its Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) by promptly auditing all their revenue items; in order to prevent leakages, pilfering and errors,”Adeuya said.
