The Kaduna State House of Assembly's committee has recommended that former governor Nasir El-Rufai be investigated and prosecuted for alleged corruption and financial irregularities during his tenure .
The committee's report found that:
- Most loans obtained during El-Rufai's administration were not used for their intended purposes.
- Due process was not followed in securing some loans.
- The administration is accused of abuse of office, awarding contracts without due process, diverting public funds, and money laundering.
- Excessive borrowing has plunged Kaduna State into heavy debt, with N423 billion siphoned and huge liabilities left.
- The committee recommends the investigation and prosecution of El-Rufai and other officials by security and anti-corruption agencies.
- The suspension of the Kaduna State Commissioner of Finance and the chairman of the state universal basic education board has also been recommended.
- Thorough investigations into key appointees from the last administration have also been urged.
