The Benue State Government has accused the immediate past administration of ex-overnor Ortom of operating 600 accounts during his eight-year term in office.
The finance commissioner said Governor Alia was shown only 25 accounts when he took over office but information at the Nigerian Inter Bank System, however, showed that the state had over 600 accounts. Oglegba while commenting on the state debts profile, insisted that the Alia government inherited over N359 billion debts which included that of the local government arrears.
“So the Alia administration has no reason to lie about the state debts. We will be doing ourselves a great disservice if we say we own monies that we do not own. When we need loans for example who will give us?”The former governor, who spoke through his media aide, Terver Akase, had said the allegation was a mischief levelled against him and his eight years’ administration.
