JONATHAN’S MEN HAVE STARTED RETURNING STOLEN MONEY, SAYS EL-RUFAI

The new government of Muhammadu Buhari has started receiving money stolen by the cabinet members of former President Goodluck Jonathan. This was revealed by the Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, in an interview with the journalists on Monday.


He said it was true that they have recovered some money from many people who agreed to do so in the interest of Nigeria.

The governor, concealing the identity of those returning the money and how much was so far been returned, said the action was a welcome development. He, however, said it was not good for the government that has good intention to expose those who wish to be good Samaritans and patriotic through their actions as it would be unfair on the integrity shown.

El-Rufai Downsizes Kaduna Commissioners From 24 To 13

A statement made available Earlier on Tuesday, 9th of June, by the governor’s spokesman, Mr. Samuel Aruwan, explained that Nasir el-Rufai, has reduced the number of commissioners from 24 to 13. This was against the 24 that were appointed by the previous government of the Peoples Democratic Party under former Governor Mukhtar Yero.

The Kaduna state governor added that he would put boundaries on the number of aides that the 13 commissioners could recruit in the discharge of their duties. He also  noted that such a move required a reduction in the proportion consumed by government.

Moreover, the governor also announced the restructuring of its ministries from 19 to 13. This, he said, was intended to cut costs, encourage efficiency and improve on service delivery.
