Local contractors in Kano have urged the federal
government to probe former Governor of Kano state Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso over
alleged N200bn debts.
Chairman, Kano state branch of Nigeria Chamber of
Indigenous Contractors, Alhaji Auduwa Maitangaran, said the former governor had
virtually crippled indigenous contractors in the state before he left for the
senate.
“We have lost over 40 members who died as a result
of illnesses they developed following the delay in releasing their funds by the
former governor. Over 50 others were sent to prison because of huge debt and
more than 100 members are currently on admission in various hospitals courtesy
of nonpayment of their monies,” he said.
He said
Kwankwaso only paid 30 per cent of the entire projects he executed in
four years, leaving behind 70 per cent unpaid. He said 50 per cent of indigenous
contractors had not been paid their monies.
