KADUNA, North-West Nigeria – The Kaduna State House of Assembly has set up a committee to probe the administration of former Governor Nasir El-Rufa’i’s administration.
The Assembly constitutes a committee to conduct the probe at Tuesday’s plenary presided by the Speaker, Yusuf Liman Dahiru.
Part of the mandate of the committee is to probe the foreign and domestic loans and grants secured, how they were spent by the immediate past administration of Mallam Nasir El-Rufai.
The Committee was tasked to embark “on fact-finding of financial dealings, loans and grants and other projects implementation from 2015-2023”.
The probe panel was mandated to invite El-Rufai and other notable personalities, including the former Speaker of the 8th and 9th Assembly.
Others to be invited are former commissioners of Finance and ex-commissioners of Budget and Planning.
Governor of Kaduna State, Uba Sani, had lamented the huge debt burden left by the past administration which he claimed was incapacitating his government.
