- On March 30, Uba Sani, governor of Kaduna, said his administration inherited a debt of $587 million, N85 billion, and 115 contractual liabilities from the el-Rufai administration.
- Speaking during a town hall meeting, Sani also said he has not borrowed “a kobo in the last nine months”.
A committee has been established by the Kaduna house of assembly to look into the state’s finances when Nasir el-Rufai, the ex-governor of state, was in office.
Examining loans, grants, and project implementation from 2015 to 2023—the time frame during which El-Rufai ruled as governor—is the committee’s mandate.
Henry Zacharia, chairman of the house committee on information, confirmed the development to TheCable.
Zacharia said the eight-member fact finding committee was set up during plenary on Tuesday “to find out the financial dealings of the state under the former governor”.
