<\/p>\nMr John Yahya, the secretary of the committee stated this in a statement on Friday in Yola.<\/p>\n
Yahya alleged that some officials of the outgoing administration of Gov. Muhammadu Bindow were auctioning government\u2019s properties to themselves, NAN reports.<\/p>\n
\u201cA particular case in point is Adamawa Agricultural Development and Investment Limited (AADIL) where government officials have concluded arrangements to auction the assets to themselves any moment in spite of the fact that the contractor has not fully supplied all the items which is against the procurement law.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe also want to draw the attention of the current government that the transition committee is in possession of the correct inventory of all items of the agency as against what has been submitted to it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He also accused the outgoing administration of awarding bogus contracts and illegal recruitment into the civil service.<\/p>\n
He said the committee would recommend to the incoming administration the need for forensic investigation of the complete inventory of movable and unmovable public assets with a view to holding those involved in looting government\u2019s properties responsible.<\/p>\n
When contacted, the state\u2019s Head of Service, Dr Amos Edgar, said he was not aware of any auctioning of government\u2019s properties, adding that those making the allegation should provide prove for necessary action.<\/p>\n
On illegal recruitment, Edgar said he was not aware of any illegal appointments, adding that all he knew was that normal recruitment took place.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am not aware that there is illegal recruitment; people retired, people die and you know it\u2019s natural to replace them. That is not illegal,\u201d Edgar said.<\/p>\n
He noted that from January till date about five Permanent Secretaries retired, while about 12 more would retire between now and December, in addition to other cadres of workers.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
