BY Fancy Media Team,
Kogi State is set to host the 30th Conference of the Auditor-General for Local Government, scheduled to take place from August 10 to 14, 2026, at the Banquet Hall, Government House, Lokoja.
The landmark conference, which is to be hosted by the Auditor-General for Local Government, Kogi State, Hon. Yakubu Siyaka Adabenege FCNA, will bring together key stakeholders in public-sector auditing and local government administration.
With the theme, “Repositioning Auditor-General for Governance Excellence in the Artificial Intelligence toward Global Best Practices in the Local Government Audit,” the conference is expected to provide a strategic platform for critical discussions on the evolving role of technology in public-sector accountability.
It will particularly explore how artificial intelligence can strengthen auditing processes, promote transparency, improve efficiency and enhance governance at the grassroots.
The conference will be held under the distinguished Chief Host, His Excellency, Alh. Ahmed Usman Ododo (FCA), Governor of Kogi State, whose administration has continued to emphasise accountability, institutional efficiency and improved service delivery.
The gathering is also expected to foster knowledge exchange among auditors and other professionals, while exposing participants to emerging technologies and innovative approaches capable of transforming local government auditing in line with global standards.
As Kogi welcomes professionals and stakeholders for this significant anniversary conference, expectations are high that the event will leave a lasting impact on the future of public-sector auditing.
Beyond marking three decades of the conference, the occasion presents an opportunity to chart a new course where technology, accountability and governance excellence converge to build stronger and more transparent local governments for the benefit of the people.
