Ortom Gets Benue Assembly’s Nod To Borrow N10bn by Ezenwammadu(m): 3:25pm On Jun 18, 2015 |
The Benue State House of Assembly on Thursday approved the request of the state Governor, Samuel Ortom, to borrow N10bn. The resolution followed a request by the governor to enable him to pay salary arrears of state government workers, which he inherited from his predecessor, Gabriel Suswam, and also attend to other pressing state matters. A member of the Assembly, Joseph Ojobo of the Peoples Democratic Party, moved the motion for the approval of the loan and was seconded by Ianna Jato also of the PDP. The Speaker, Terkimbi Ikyange, commended the members for their contributions to the loan debate. Speaking with journalists after the session, Bem Mngutyo of the All Progressives Congress, representing Tarka State Constituency, said the decision was to enable the government to perform its statutory functions. “Ours is to see how the government can move forward. The state is in a precarious situation, where salaries are not paid,” the former Benue State Nigerian Union of Journalists chairman noted. “Even if borrowing is not the best approach, it is pertinent to know that the best thing to do now is to borrow. Perhaps, we can step up ways of our Internally Generated Revenue because our situation seems to be worse than states that were created after Benue.”http://www.punchng.com/news/ortom-gets-benue-assemblys-nod-to-borrow-n10bn/ |

The Governor has no option after former Governor Suswan of the PDP left the state indebted. Benue, the Food Basket of the Nation, shall rise again. God bless the President. |

Agwoden:Amaechi said he left 7 billion which, to the best of my knowledge, Wike has not dismissed. How about the over 100 billion paid into the account of the RVSG on May 28? Wike remains the first governor in this dismensation to borrow. God bless Muhammadu Buhari, the Ogbuagu I of Aba (Ngwaland). |
