New Zamfara state governor Dauda Lawal declares N9 trillion personal asset to code of conduct bureau
There has been mixed reactions from concerned citizens as the news make it to the public domain that the newly inaugurated Executive Governor of Zamfara State, Dauda Lawal made a declaration of 9 trillion nairas in cash, investment and property assets!
The Code of Conduct Bureau had mandated all the newly elected Governors to make their asset declaration submitted to the bureau before May 29th 2023 when they were sworn-in.
Many citizens were surprised when it was disclosed that Governor Dauda Lawal claimed he is worth N9,000,000,000,000.00.
Dauda Lawal was a former Executive Director at the First Bank of Nigeria Plc. He also worked sometimes with the former Minister of Petroleum, Allison Madueke.
Unfortunately, the richest person in Africa, Aliko Dangote is currently valued to worth 13.5 billion dollars by the Forbes. The next to Aliko Dangote on the Forbes list is Johann Rupert and Family who jointly worth 10.7 billion dollars.
When converted to US Dollars, Dauda Lawal’s 9 trillion naira is equivalent to about 12 billion dollars, that is supposedly second to Aliko Dangote and richer than Abdulsamad Rabiu who currently worth 7.6 billion dollars and Mike Adenuga who is currently valued to worth 6.3 billion dollars.
