The Senate and House of Representatives on Tuesday approved a refund of N16,772,486,002.19 to the Borno State Government for federal road projects
Former President Muhammadu Buhari had written to the National Assembly to approve the amount through promissory note and bond issuance.
On the other hand, the House approved the refund after it considered a report by its Committee on Aids, Loans and Debt Management under the chairmanship of Hon. Ahmed Safana Dayyabu. Senator Ordia observed that most of the federal roads mentioned were in deplorable states before the intervention of the Borno State Government.
On his part, Dayyabu told the House that the Borno State Government began construction of the federal roads in 2014
