Niger State to Probe LGAs on Bailout Fund

The Niger State Government has announced plans to probe the Local Government Areas (LGAs) in the state over the utilization of the bailout fund provided by the Federal Government.

The decision to probe the LGAs was made by the state government following allegations of mismanagement and misappropriation of the bailout fund by some of the LGAs.

The state government has set up a committee to investigate the utilization of the bailout fund by the LGAs and to identify any irregularities or mismanagement.

The committee, which is headed by the state's Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, is expected to submit its report to the state government within a specified timeframe.

The state government has also threatened to take disciplinary action against any LGA found to have mismanaged or misappropriated the bailout fund.

The bailout fund was provided by the Federal Government to help states and LGAs to overcome financial challenges and to improve the delivery of public services.

It is worth noting that the probe is not limited to the LGAs, but also includes the state government's utilization of the bailout fund.

The probe is seen as a move by the state government to ensure transparency and accountability in the utilization of public funds and to prevent mismanagement and misappropriation of funds.

Overall, the probe is expected to help to improve the financial management of the state and to ensure that public funds are used for the benefit of the people.
