How Kwankwaso Stashed Kano's $1million In Ukraine

Kano state government said it has discovered the sum of over $1 million purportedly paid by former governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso to a university in Ukraine where no Kano state student was studying, reports The Nation.

Dr. Hussaini Akilu Jarma,the senior Special Assistant to Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, on Higher Education, made this revelation on Tuesday, during the inauguration of the State Scholarship Disbursement Committee.

Jarma disclosed that the dubious payment was made by Kwankwaso as part of his foreign scholarship programme.

A statement by Abba Anwar, chief press secretary to the Kano state Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje said, “Investigation reveals that a sum of $1,304,618 was abandoned in one University in Ukraine, when the sum was taken there during the last administration in the state.”

“No student was sent to the university at all. The money was sent unattended and un-utilised. We said business should not be as usual anymore,” he added.
