The Speaker of the Kwara State House of Assembly read the letter from the governor requesting legislative approval for an additional six months tenure extension for the acting Auditor General of Kwara State, Fatai Adeyemi Tiamiyu, whose term ends on 28th January 2023.
” It’s worthy of note that the case of appointment of substantive Auditor General is still in court,” the letter added.
