On 11th November 2026, the Ag. Director-General of the Internal Audit Agency (IAA), Mr. Conrad Z. Dumbah, inaugurated the Audit Committee of the National Schools Inspectorate Authority (NaSIA).
The Inspector-General of Schools at NaSIA, Prof. Tahiru Salifu Azeko, underscored the importance of Audit Committees in ensuring effective institutional oversight. He acknowledged the work of the outgoing Committee and called on the newly constituted Committee to provide the necessary guidance to support NaSIA’s growth and institutional effectiveness.
Following his election as Chairman of the Committee, Mr. Tackie pledged to bring his experience to bear on the Committee’s work.
Mr. Dumbah commended Management of NaSIA for promptly reconstituting the Committee following the expiration of the previous Committee’s tenure, describing the move as a demonstration of its commitment to good governance. He urged Management to support the Committee and Internal Auditors and emphasised the importance of adhering to statutory meeting timelines. He further encouraged the Committee to be proactive in its oversight role to help prevent audit infractions and adverse findings that could attract the attention of Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and the Attorney-General.
He assured the Committee of the Agency’s support, including training on Audit Committee guidelines and internal audit-related matters.
In his closing remarks, Prof. Azeko assured the Committee of Management’s support and pledged to strengthen the capacity of Internal Auditors through participation in conferences, seminars and training programmes.
