Kogi State House of Assembly has directed a former governor of the state, Alhaji Ibrahim Idris, to appear before its adhoc committee investigating alleged revenue shortchange by some companies operating in the state.

This was part of the Assembly’s resolution at its sitting, yesterday. The former governor was summoned to explain how Kogi State’s 10 per cent share in Obajana Cement was transferred to Dangote Industries Limited.

The Speaker, Matthew Kolawole, while ruling on the matter, said, though people are happy that Dangote Industries is investing in the state, the House would want to know how the benefits are accruing. The management of Dangote had, earlier, requested more time to enable it present all necessary documents in relation to the agreement. It added that it would require someone who has had years of knowledge about the transaction to explain what really transpired.
