Speaking to journalists at the assembly’s complex, Danjuma said, “Since the committee’s inauguration, we have been diligently carrying out our duties. Today, we have summoned certain key individuals for interviews deemed necessary to gather testimonies crucial for reaching informed conclusions and delivering a comprehensive report.”
Daily Trust reports that the establishment of the committee stemmed from concerns raised by the current Governor, Uba Sani, regarding fiscal challenges attributed to debts incurred during the tenure of El-Rufai.
