SURE-P Fund intact, Says Plateau Govt

By The Citizen

The Plateau State Government has dismissed media reports that Governor Jonah Jang is being probed by the State House of Assembly over alleged missing N5billion Subsidy Re-investment Programme (SURE-P) fund of the state.

In a statement, Commissioner for Information and Communication, Mr. Yiljap Abraham, said the reports were sensational and faulty in interpretation.

According to him, records declares that:  'Jang is surely not under any form of investigation or 'probe' by the legislature either in connection with the Subsidy Re-Investment Programme or any other aspect of governance. The state's share of SURE-P accrual from the Federation Account is not missing, diverted or misappropriated.
