Handover notes: We’re ready for Buhari’s probe, says Sambo

Vice-President Namadi Sambo yesterday said that cabinet members who have served with President Goodluck Jonathan were ready to answer questions from the incoming administration of General Muhammadu Buhari regarding handover notes.

The handover notes were presented to transition committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) headed by Alhaji Ahmed Joda. Speaking at the ceremony, Sambo said the report comprises the activities of the Federal Government between 2011 and 2015.

“The handover notes of the Federal Government of Nigeria of this administration between 2011 and 2015 have been properly articulated and printed. “The Permanent Secretaries of each ministry have signed each page of this report to authenticate it and it is our pleasure to present it to you and pray that it will guide you, guide the incoming administration towards the achievement of positive objectives, development and progress of Nigeria.

“And I want to add that all of us are always available, after this report between now and May 29, anytime you need to meet with us we are ready to come and sit and clarify. “All the Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) will also be ready to meet with you, give you any additional or clarifications that you would want to have on this report that we are presenting,” Sambo said.

The vice president thanked members of the two transition committees for their support and contributions. Receiving the handover notes, Joda described the documents as comprehensive, saying his committee would examine the report before final submission to the incoming Buhari administration.

“It is my honour and my privilege to receive this comprehensive set of the report from the government transition committee which was chaired by the vice president. “It appears that nothing has been left out. It is now our challenge to give careful study and examination of what is contained in these volumes,” Joda said.
