The state government said Mr Matawalle used cronies to 'impoverish' the state.
Governor, Dauda Lawal, has sacked permanent secretaries and suspended district and village heads appointed by his predecessor, Bello Matawalle.
Mr Nakwada said all districts created in December 2022 had been dissolved while permanent secretaries appointed after the 2023 general elections have been sacked as ”full rationalisation of civil service is on the way”. “For the first time in the history of our state, workers were unable to receive their salaries for two consecutive months, despite the availability of ample resources during the twilight of the immediate past administration,” he said.
Mr Nakwada also accused Mr Matawalle of spending N50 billion on projects in the Government House with little developmental impact. He said the former governor spent N11.5 billion on Gusau Cargo Airport with no visible progress, ”allocating about N1 billion to construct governor’s lodges in 14 local governments with nothing to show”.
