N13bn missing from Katsina treasury, says Gov. Masari
Aminu Masari, governor of Katsina state, has alleged that N13 billion is missing from the account of the state’s ministry of finance.
Masari made this known during his maiden news conference in the state on Thursday.
“We are investigating the whereabouts of this staggering sum in the document handed over to the transition committee,” he said.
“The ministry of finance has failed to account for this whopping sum of money.
The governor said there was a huge gap in the records that the former administration handed over to the transition committee of his government.
He said the government had set up a panel to go through the financial records which the former administration handed over to his administration in order to know the true position of things.
The governor said within one year, N700 million got missing from account of the primary education board, revealing that as a disciplinary measure the chairman and executive secretary of the board had been directed to proceed on compulsory leave.
Masari said his administration would carry out extensive investigation with a view to be fair to all.
He appealed to the people to be patient as his administration was determined to provide “more dividends of democracy to them after all the investigations”.
