Former APGA National Secretary, Dr. Sani Abdullahi Shinkafi, has called for a comprehensive accounting of the Zamfara State Gold Reserve Initiative established during Bello Matawalle’s tenure as governor. Shinkafi, who is also a senatorial aspirant, is requesting detailed information regarding the amount of gold acquired through the initiative. He seeks clarity on the current location and storage of the gold reserves. The demand centers on ensuring transparency and responsible management of the state’s natural resources. No specific allegations of wrongdoing have been made, but Shinkafi emphasizes the need for public disclosure. The initiative aimed to formalize gold mining and boost the state’s economy, but its current status remains unclear. Vanguard News reported on the call for accountability.
