Governor Sani had during a Town Hall meeting in Kaduna told stakeholders in the state that he inherited huge debt of $587 million, N85 billion, and 115 contractual liabilities from the immediate past administration of El-Rufai.
He lamented that his administration is finding it difficult to honour the monthly salary obligation of N5.2 billion to its workers. Counselling that the governor should not reduce the situation to the politics of a blame game, the former Director General of Progressive Governors’ Forum appealed to Sani to take every necessary step to undertake an inventory of the debt of the state and how it was utilised.
Admitting that there could be new insight that the governor may have encountered after taking over, he reasoned that he came well prepared and ready to deal with the challenges and move Kaduna State forward from where el-Rufai left it. “I make this point cautiously having practically lost contact with both Mallam Nasir El-Rufai and Mallam Uba Sani since my resignation as National Vice Chairman in July 2023. I was only privileged to meet Mallam Uba once and thereafter couldn’t speak with him in any form. I only encountered Mallam Nasir once during the birthday reception of Chief Bisi Akande at the Presidential Villa and we only greeted and moved on.
“More substantively, there is the need to come up with new initiatives towards mobilising new resources for the state. Resolving the challenge of today’s huge debt burden requires new initiatives beyond what is currently being undertaken.
