hehehehe.....Governor of Niger State, Alhaji Abubakar Bello, on Wednesday while with State House correspondents shortly after meeting President Muhammadu Buhari behind closed doors at the Presidential Villa.
1. Gov Bello noted that his government had been borrowing from banks since January to augment whatever came to the state in form of federal allocation.
2. He stated that as of May ending, his government was in debt to the tune of N3bn.
3.And as such, he thinks it is unhealthy to keep on borrowing just to pay salaries considering the fact that the civil servants in the state are just 40,000 and he still needs to cater for the needs of the over three million people in the state,
4.He stated that salaries are not the only needs the state has, that there are a lot of issues for instance one Girls’ Secondary School that their roof is off in six out of seven dormitories
5.He noted on a final note that he and his appointees are more than willing to makes sacrifices and they have shown that by cutting down their expenditure. For instance, they have cut down the expenses of the Government House from N150m a week to between N20m and N25 million a week.
What do you think?
