A new committee has been set up to coordinate the 29 May handover to a democratically-elected government, Major-General Mamman Kontagora, the federal capital territory minister said yesterday. According to the ‘Guardian’, he told the North Korean ambassador during a meeting that the handover ceremony would be held at the Eagle Square in Abuja. Kontagora added that his office had been “saddled with the responsibility” of organising the activities for the ceremony and all structures had been put in place to ensure a smooth transition to democracy, the ‘Guardian’ said.
