The transition committee of the
Federal Government headed by Vice President Namadi Sambo has finally
submitted the outgoing government’s handover notes to the transition
committee of the incoming government, headed by a former permanent
secretary, Ahmed Joda.
President-elect Muhammadu Buhari and his
party, All Progressive Congress, APC, had complained about the failure
of the present government to brief them, ahead of a formal transfer of
power on Friday.
Making the submission on Monday at the
Presidential Villa Abuja, Mr. Sambo said the team would be available to
answer any question before the handover of power on May 29.
“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 down and clarify it,”
Mr. Sambo said.
“All the (Ministries, Departments and
Agencies) MDAs will also be ready to meet with you, give you any
additional information or clarification that you would want to have on
this report that we are presenting,” he said.
Mr. Sambo said the report comprises of the activities of the Federal Government under President Jonathan 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,” he said.
The Vice President also said Permanent
Secretaries of each ministry have signed each page of the report to
authenticate it, adding that it was his hope that it will guide the Joda
committee and the incoming government towards the achievement of
positive objectives, development and progress of Nigeria.
In his brief remarks, the Chairman of
the APC team, Mr. Joda said his committee would examine the report
before final submission to the incoming government.
“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,” Mr. Joda said.
