Court restrains state govt from borrowing N10bn for CCTV
A Federal High Court in Kano, presided over by Justice Abdullahi Liman, on Friday restrained the Kano State Government from borrowing N10 billion for the installation of Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras.
A coalition of NGOs, the Kano First Forum (KFF) filed a motion exparte dated June 27, sworn by the Director-General of the Association Dr Yusuf Isyaka-Rabiu prayed the court to restrain Gov. Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano from borrowing N10 billion loan.
Other respondents in the suit are the Attorney General of Kano State, Commissioner of Finance Kano and Speaker Kano State House of Assembly, Access Bank, Federal Ministry of Finance, Debt Management Office and Fiscal Responsibility Commission.
Justice Liman granted the prayers of KFF and restrained the first respondent from borrowing the N10 billion loan and ordered all parties to maintain status quo, while the adjourned date would be later communicated to both parties in the suit.
…The State House of Assembly had on June 15 approved Ganduje’s request to access N10 billion from Access Bank.
