The Kaduna north progressive and Transparency Group in Kaduna north Local Government Area of Kaduna State, has asked council Chairman to account for the millions of naira monthly allocation of the LGA from 2021 till date.

“If upon review of our request, the decision is taken to transfer the request to another public institution, we request that you provide us with a written notice of this fact in the manner as provided under the Act and within the stipulated timeframe.
