Two Accountant-Generals Down: Nigeria’s Treasury Under Trial

A former Acting Accountant-General, Anamekwe Nwabuoku, was recently jailed for diverting ₦868.46 million. His 72-year sentence breaks the usual cycle of impunity for top officials. His predecessor, Ahmed Idris, still faces court charges of ₦109 billion. Together, these cases expose a system that grants authority without enforcing accountability. Unless Nigeria demands swift and visible consequences, the institution meant to safeguard public funds will remain a weak citadel. Restoring trust means more than prosecuting individuals—it means building a culture where public service truly serves the people.
