Textbooks   N450,000,000, 

Exercise Books  N378,000,000

The petitioner further alleged that, “While, he was still serving as Commissioner of Ministry of Science and Technical Education from 2017 to 2019 being a Member of All Progressives Congress (APC) he thought to be untouchable as the former Governor Abdulaziz Yari administered Zamfara State as his personal estate, with impunity which is a total violation of financial regulation Act and Bereau of Public Procurement Act respectively.
