After public complaints that the state's share of Subsidy Reinvestment Programme (SURE-P) funds may have been misappropriated, the Speaker of the Plateau State House of Assembly, John Clark Dabwan, set up an eight-member ad hoc committee chaired by Dalyop Mancha to account for about ₦5 billion received under Governor Jonah Jang from January 2012. The Commissioner for Finance, Davo Mang, told the committee the state received ₦218 million a month. In its report the committee said state officials had refused to disclose details of the bank accounts holding the funds.
