Gov. Samuel ortom
The Benue State government wants to obtain loan from undisclosed financial institutions to augment N6.5 billion it got from Paris Club Refund to pay workers’ salaries.
The Acting Governor, Benson Abounu, yesterday while fielding questions from journalists at Benue People’s House after a meeting with labour leaders in the state, stressed that payment of workers salaries is an uphill task for the state.
Abounu however, explained that to secure such loan from any financial institution, the state must get clearance from the Federal Ministry of Finance as well as Debt Management Office (DMO), Abuja.
