A non-governmental organisation, the Centre for Human Rights and Conflict Resolution, has called for a judicial investigation into the activities of the administration of former Kogi State Governor, Idris Wada.
The organisation in a statement in Lokoja on Thursday said the action was necessary to ascertain the level of foreign and local debts left behind by the administration.
“The state has been characterized with uncompleted projects and inflated contracts , huge and fake wage bills and huge debts of imaginable proportion,” the Centre alleged in the statement signed by its Executive Secretary, Idris Miliki-Abdul.
It said the panel of inquiry should also investigate the actual amounts paid to contractors on abandoned and ongoing projects.
The group commended Governor Yahaya Bello’s declaration not to tolerate corruption and impunity during his tenure.
It urged the new governor to publicly declare his assets, adding that the action would enhance people’s confidence and trust in the new administration.
