Zamfara State Commissioner for Finance Alhaji Rabi’u Garba has stated that only Promissory notes were collected on behalf of the previous administration by the then Director-General of the Nigerian Governor’s forum.
Explaining how the notes were collected, the commissioner gave the breakdown of collection by an official of the then Nigerian Governor’s Forum who was the first to collect the promissory notes of over N14.9 billion.
The second promissory notes amounting to N22 billion was later collected by the then DG of the Nigerian Governors Forum.
He lamented that the collection of the notes were without proper documentation when handed over to the government of Governor Bello Matawalle.
In a letter seeking payment and explanation on the N37billion to both the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing and the Debt Management Office (DMO), the said amount was fully reimbursed to the state.
