The kwara state government said it will diligently scrutinise all the necessary documents connected to government properties sold by past administrations for diligent prosecution.
This is coming on the heals of the seizure of two government properties in choice area in Abuja by the Access Management Corporation of Nigeria over the indebtedness of Shonga Farm Holdings.
Shonga farm was established by the administration of former governor Bukola Saraki under its agriculture revolution programme.
17,000 hectares of land were earmarked for the farm project out of which 13,000 hectares of land were allocated to the white Zimbabwewn farmers.
The farm is now under scrutiny by the current government after AMCON seized government properties because of the indebtedness of the farm.
Government officials say Kwara has not benefitted from the farm despite investing more than #5 billion naira in the farm.
They claim that what the government and people of Kwara have benefitted from the farm is debt upon debt and now seizure of its properties in choice areas in Abuja.
The kwara state government is now taking its time to dust its papers for diligent prosecution of what it tags “the Shonga Farm scam”
