Biography

Bunu was born on 25 December 1950 in Ngala, Borno State. In 1982 he was appointed Minister of State, Housing and Environment.[2] Bunu designed the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Towers in Abuja.[3]

In April 2008 the Senate Committee on the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) summoned Bunu and other former FCT ministers to defend their actions with respect to land allocations, revocations and sale of Federal Government houses during their tenure.[4]

In March 2010 President Goodluck Jonathan set up a Federal Projects Assessment Committee headed by Bunu "to assess and provide necessary information on the status of on-going Federal Government projects across the nation."[5] Bunu immediately came under pressure to explain how he could probe "ongoing projects" that started during his administration of the FCT.[3]
