The Niger Government has assured the incoming All Progressives Congress (APC) governor-elect, Alhaji Abubakar Bello, of a smooth handover on May 29.

The Secretary to the State Government and head of the 27-man Transition Implementation Committee, Alhaji Idris Kpaki, made this known in Minna on Thursday.

“The government has released the Presidential suites to the governor-elect for his use.

“The administration has also made available two of the government houses to the governor-elect for use by his guests during the transition period,” he said.

Kpaki said that the official residence of the governor within the premises of the government house was also undergoing renovation and would be completed before the handover date.
