GOVERNOR Siminalayi Fubara has decried the substantial debt burden inherited from the previous administration of Nyesom Wike, saying most of the projects commissioned in the state were not fully funded.
Governor Fubara stated this during the commissioning of the Aleto-Ogale-Ebubu-Eteo Road, also known as Old Bori Road in Eleme Local Government Area of the state.
The project was commissioned by the Governor of Abia State, Alex Otti.
He said the contractors who handled the affected projects are returning for outstanding payments.
Governor Fubara did not, however, give an estimate of the debt.
He said he is now compelled to speak out after being pushed by his opponents.
Governor Fubara expressed his intension to appear for project commissioning project with “white paper” detailing project funding.
Governor Fubara clarified that his administration has not engaged in conflicts with the federal government, saying it has instead received support, although challenges persist due to the interest of an insider.
