Adamawa Govt. to probe Nyako
(Nigeria )
The acting Governor of Adamawa State, Alhaji Ahmadu Fintiri, has said that the
government had concluded plan to probe former Governor Murtala Nyako over
N82billion debt profile.
Fintiri announced this in a broadcast to people of the state
in Yola on Tuesday.
“We shall set up a judicial panel of inquiry to probe
Nyako’s administration and we shall cooperate with all anti-graft agencies to
recover stolen state funds.
“This will be done through effective publicity and bring to
public notice the abuses that necessitated and justified this change of
government in
“Furthermore, the Secretary to the State Government shall in
due course, inform the world about these scandalous abuses and how the simple
canon of government activities were thrown overboard’’, Fintiri said.
Fintiri added that his interim administration inherited a
debt profile of more than N12 billion in the statutory revenue account
alongside liabilities amounting to N70 billion said to be diverted to
non-viable projects.
“My administration has mapped out strategies to reinvigorate
the various sectors of the economy through which dividends of democracy can
reach the citizens.’’
Fintiri said he was committed to handing over a better
Adamawa to the next administration.
The acting governor said local government would be treated
properly as an effective tier of government through prompt release of funds.
He urged traditional rulers, religious leaders, community
leaders, security agencies and the people of the state to participate fully in
bringing back the lost glory of Adamawa.
