Niger State Governor-elect Abubakar Sani Bello yesterday inaugurated a 35-man transition committee with a marching order for them to ensure the veracity of any information or document from the outgoing Babangida Aliyu administration.
Bello said the directive became necessary because the findings of the committee would form the foundation and the direction of the incoming administration.
The order came on the heels of assurance by the outgoing administration that the handover would be smooth on May 29.
The government said it had made available the Presidential suites for the governor-elect.
The head of the government’s 27-man Transition Implementation Committee (TIC) and Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Idris Ndako Kpaki, addressed reporters yesterday in Minna.
He said the administration also provided the governor-elect with some other logistics pending his swearing-in.
Bello urged the incoming administration’s transition committee, headed by Deputy Governor-elect Mohammed Ahmed Ketso, to scrutinise every document from the government.
