Governor Nyesom Wike has announced that his government owes only 2 banks about 9 billion Naira.
He gave the disclosure when he compared his administration with those of his colleagues in other states.
According to Wike, “when I hear that a state is owing about N200b, I don’t believe them because I don’t know where such figure is coming from.
“In my state, we use just two (2) banks namely Access and Zenith Bank and I am owing the two of them. For Access Bank, the amount we’re owing them is over N4b while Zenith Bank is over N5b.”
The governor added that, “every Kobo my administration got from the 2 banks will liquidate by June this year. When I hear about loan, I wonder and ask if the loans were incurred during the military administration.”
“In my state, we have no foreign debt and I will not leave any debt behind when leaving office. I don’t think I have ever borrowed money that I’ve never paid.”
