The Benue State governor, Samuel Ortom, yesterday begged
President Muhammadu Buhari for a grant or soft loan to be able to clear
outstanding salaries.
The governor made this appeal on Monday when the President
paid a condolence visit to the state.
Ortom said, “The issue of backlog of salaries remains
intractable. Part of the problem of salaries was inherited from the past
government.
“In spite of your efforts with Bailout Funds and Paris Club
Refunds which we appreciate, the challenge still remains due to the high wage
bill in the average of N7.8billion which we inherited.
“We request for a grant or soft loan to be able to pay the
arrears even as we have taken steps to stabilize regular salary payment with
effect from January this year.”
Of course he will give you to make you forget the pains of his hersdmen killing your people. you are a disgrace to Benue people. If you want to ask for loan , must it be a time like this? no wonder you are desperate and happy about his coming so as to beg for loan. Very soon, you will give land for colony
