Earlier at the handover at Government House, Kano, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf vowed to probe the N241 billion inherited from the administration of ex-Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.
Governor Yusuf said the handover notes submitted by Ganduje through the outgoing Secretary to the State Government were not enough and very scanty.
“The handover notes are not enough for us. It is a very scanty note. The transition committee report was also very scanty.
“Nothing we can do as representatives of the state; we can’t refuse to collect what was given to us. We will look at it. Where we are satisfied, we will take action. Where we are also not satisfied, we will also take action accordingly.
“It is so disheartening that the government left a debt profile of over N241 billion for us. Where are we going to source the money? The IGR they talk about is nothing to write home about. The money they realized through Kano Internal Revenue Service was nothing to write home about. Why the use of so many consultants? Just like rain conduit for the resources of the people of Kano state. We are going to look at it. I am not satisfied!” he said.
