The Jigawa State House of Assembly is probing Governor Badaru Abubakar for alleged violations of the 2017 Appropriation Act. This includes unauthorized expenditure of "hundreds of millions of naira" for school furniture procurement by local governments under his directive, and the planned illegal sale of state property in Ikoyi, Lagos.
