This situation sheds light on a longstanding issue of mismanagement and corruption within the Doma Local Government of Nasarawa State.
The disappearance of the tractor, allegedly facilitated by a former Deputy Director of the Department of Agriculture, raises significant concerns about accountability in the local government.
The fact that this matter dates back to the previous administration under Hon. Rabiu Sani, and was carried over to the tenure of Arc. Ahmed Sarki Usman, underscores the systemic nature of the problem.
It’s revealing that despite efforts by the current Executive Chairman to recover the tractor, powerful forces seem to have interfered, making it difficult to resolve the issue.
The involvement of a key political figure in Doma , who reportedly urged the council to drop the matter, points to potential political influences that hinder the enforcement of justice.
The transfer of the prime suspect, also known as "Afro," from Doma to other local governments amid the controversy only deepens the suspicion surrounding his role in the tractor’s disappearance.
Furthermore, the Local Government Service Commission's apparent fatigue with the issue, as expressed by its Chairman, Hon. Sani Bawa, signals frustration at an unresolved case that has lingered for too long.
Ultimately, the story highlights gaps in governance and the enforcement of civil service rules, leaving the public wondering whether this case will ever see a resolution or if it will fade into bureaucratic obscurity.
