Bailout Fund: Al-Makura clears self on ICPC report

A stakeholders forum con­vened by the Nasarawa State Government to proffer so­lutions on the way for-ward in the midst of economic downturn and under development in the state has held in Lafia, the State capital.

 

However, reports from the venue of the meeting said major stakehold­ers from the State were absent from the conference which also sought to unite the different ethnic groups in the state.

 

The reports said that among the personalities that were absent were some former deputy governors and lawmakers including former gov­ernor, Sen Abdullahi Adamu who was said to be engaged in a national assignment but did not send his rep­resentative.

 

Those interviewed doubted if for­mal invitation was extended to the immediate past deputy governor, Hon Luka Barau, former deputy governor too Dr Aliyu Akwe Doma, Chief Micheal Abdul and the for­mer infor-mation minister, Mr La­baran Maku, who was the APGA governorship candidate in the state.

 

This worrisome situation has, however left many with the doubt that the unity as sought to be achieved might not be in total, but the State Governor, Umaru Tanko Al-Makura while addressing those that attended, said he was duly given a prior notice.
