The committee was inaugurated recently by the Kaduna State House of Assembly to investigate the financial dealings of the 8-year administration of the former governor, Nasir El-Rufai, following an outcry by the incumbent Governor Uba Sani over inability to pay salaries and complete contracts because of inherited huge debts.

VOP News gathered that the former commissioners so far questioned were: former Commissioner Ministry of Public Works and Infrastructure, Thomas Gyang, former commissioner of the Ministry of Education, Ja’afaru Ibrahim Sani and former Agric Commissioner, Dr. Manzo Daniel Maigari amongst others.

Fielding questions from newsmen after a long session with former commissioners, which lasted into late night on Monday, the chairman of the ad-hoc probe commission, Henry Danjuma said that the committee may receive multiple testimonies from those invited to appear before it.
