Atiku Abubakar said on 10 July 2026 that the President had delayed action on the Federal Audit Service Bill months after the National Assembly transmitted it, citing section 58(4) of the Constitution, which requires the President to signify assent or withhold it within thirty days. He described the bill as designed to modernise the audit architecture and strengthen the Auditor-General's independence. Whether the bill has since been signed was not confirmed in the sources retrieved; the passage dates were also not found.
