Office of the Auditor-General (State)

In 1910, the colonial Audit service was established and heads of Audit were appointed to oversee audit services in the Southern and Northern Protectorates. In 1914, when the Southern and Northern Protectorates were amalgamated, an Audit section was established as part of the Central Secretariat in Lagos.  The Directors of Audit who were expatriates then were responsible to the Governor but were also put under the general supervision of the Director General of Oversea Audit Service. (Audit ordinance 1956 S.7).
