Governor Uba Sani recently disclosed inheriting a substantial debt totaling $587 million, N85 billion, and 115 contractual obligations from El-Rufai’s administration, which has posed challenges such as difficulty in paying workers’ salaries due to financial strain.

In a post on X on Monday, Shehu Sani urged the new state government to establish an independent probe panel led by a professional accountant or auditor. The panel would be tasked with investigating the actions of former government officials and their associated contractors, particularly scrutinizing the handling of significant funds, including a $350 million loan, to ascertain if there were any misappropriations or thefts.

“The looting of Kaduna State cannot be remedied by revelations alone but by courageously constituting a probe panel…to account for the millions in dollars and billions in Naira that were misused or outrightly stolen,” Sani emphasized.

Governor Uba Sani had previously revealed during a town hall meeting that the substantial debt profile inherited has made it challenging to pay workers’ salaries. He stated that he inherited the debt burden of $587 million, N85 billion, and 115 contractual liabilities from the El-Rufai administration.
