Senate Seeks SGF’s Resignation Over North-east Contracts

Members of the Senate have called for the resignation, probe and prosecution of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, for allegedly owning one of the companies awarded contracts in the rehabilitation of the North-East.

Lawal was alleged to have resigned his directorship of the company after becoming the SGF and the company had executed the contract.

The lawmakers, who reacted to the interim report by the Senate Committee on the Mounting Humanitarian Crisis in the North-East, took turns to criticise Lawal as allegedly working against the anti-corruption stance of the current administration.
