Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, today announced that N12.7 billion has hit the account of the state government as Paris and London Clubs refund.

He announced this Friday at the Benue People’s House in Makurdi while speaking with journalists.

According to him, the amount was 25% of $181 million which was the total amount owed the state, with local governments taking 45% while the state utilizing the remaining 50%, as the refund demanded.

The Governor said he would meet with the relevant labour leaders in the state to work out an acceptable disbursement formula on Monday next week.

Governor Ortom noted that his government would comply with President Mohammadu Buhari’s directive to use half of the amount to offset salary arrears of civil servants at the state and local government levels.

He said the President approved that 50% of the total amount be paid but the Federal Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank were only able to pay 25% at the official exchange rate three days ago.

The Governor described the information that the state had received over N90 billion as false information that emanated from the opposition political party.

On the appointment of the next paramount ruler of the Tiv he reiterated his pledge that there would be no interference with the selection and that a date for the exercise would be fixed next week.
