Henry Danjuma, Chairman of the Adhoc Committee set up by the Kaduna State House of Assembly to investigate financial dealings that have to do with loans and contractual obligations by the administration of former governor Nasir El-Rufai, says the committee will receive more testimonies from those invited to appear before it.

He noted that some testimonies succeeded in indicting persons not originally lined up for an invitation, saying that they would be invited to appear before the committee based on the indictment.

According to him, the committee swung into action as soon as it was inaugurated, stressing that some key persons have been invited and interviewed by the committee.

Fielding questions from newsmen after a sitting that lasted late into the night on Monday, the committee chairman said all testimonies will be analysed before reaching final findings.

He stressed, “The Adhoc Committee was inaugurated by the Kaduna State House of Assembly to investigate financial dealings that have to do with loans and contractual obligations by the Kaduna State Government from 29 May 2015 to May 29, 2023.”

Those invited so far include the former commissioner, the Ministry of Public Works and Infrastructure, Thomas Gyang; former commissioner of the Ministry of Education, Ja’afaru Ibrahim Sani; former Agric commissioner, Dr. Manzo Daniel Maigari and Commissioner/administrator Zaria Metropolitan Authority, Balarabe Aliyu.

Others are the former managing director of Kaduna State Roads Agency (KADRA), Engr. Mohammed Lawal Magaji, and the Administrator, Kafanchan Metropolitan Authority, Phoebe Yayi Sukai.
