Jigawa State House of Assembly has adopted a report that recommends the recovery of alleged mismanaged public funds under the administration of former Governor Badaru Abubakar and by the 27 local government councils between 2019 and 2024.
The resolution was passed after the presentation of the comprehensive report from the chairman of the House Committee on Public Accounts during the House plenary.
Chairman of the Committee, Hon. Isyaku Abubakar, said the panel conducted public hearings and a detailed review of audit reports from the Office of the Auditor-General for the State and the local government councils for the period under review.
He explained that the committee examined audited financial statements, payment vouchers, contract records, and procurement documents of ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs), as well as those of the 27 local councils.
The report, which was adopted unanimously by the lawmakers following a voice vote presided over by the Speaker, would be transmitted to the executive arm for necessary action.
