The Governor of Sokoto State, Ahmed Aliyu, inaugurated a judicial commission of inquiry on Thursday to investigate some of the actions taken by the previous administration of Aminu Waziri Tambuwal during his tenure.
Aliyu said he established the judicial panel of inquiry in response to the desires of the people of Sokoto State, who deserve to understand how their resources were managed during the previous administration.
The commission has been given two months to complete its investigation and report back. Justice Muazu Abdulkadir, a former chief judge of Gombe State, serves as the panel’s chairman.
During the swearing-in ceremony for the panel members, Aliyu pointed out the importance of carrying out their duties in accordance with the law.
Aliyu stated his commitment to fulfilling his campaign promises of promoting accountability and transparency, not only with regard to the previous administration but also as a key aspect of his own governance.
He further highlighted the selection of a highly competent individual from outside the state as the chairman of the panel, demonstrating his commitment to impartiality and expressing confidence in the impeccable character of all the panel members.
