The Kaduna State House of Assembly\u2019s ad hoc committee has submitted a damning report, exposing financial irregularities and corruption during the tenure of former Governor Nasir El-Rufai.<\/p>\n
The report was presented during plenary on Wednesday, by the chairman of the ad hoc committee, Henry Zacharia.<\/p>\n
The committee, tasked with investigating loans, grants, and project implementation from 2015 to 2023, revealed that most loans obtained during El-Rufai\u2019s administration were not used for their intended purposes.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, due process was not followed in securing some of these loans, according to the Committee.<\/p>\n
The committee\u2019s report accused former governor El-Rufai and his cabinet members of abuse of office, awarding contracts without due process, diverting public funds, and money laundering.<\/p>\n
The report also criticized the excessive borrowing during El-Rufai\u2019s tenure, which has plunged Kaduna State into heavy debt.<\/p>\n
The committee recommended the investigation and prosecution of El-Rufai and other indicted officials by security and anti-corruption agencies.<\/p>\n
Additionally, the report called for the immediate suspension of the Kaduna State Commissioner of Finance, Shizer Badda, and the chairman of the state universal basic education board.<\/p>\n
The committee also urged thorough investigations into key appointees from the last administration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
