The approval for the refund was granted at the virtual federal executive council (FEC) meeting presided over by Buhari on June 3.

Actually it's unbelievable. There is something really divine about Rivers State. I realy admire Governor Wike's courage and proactivity.I am glad that that Government has boost confidence in it's dealings in that regard. What is worthy of praise should be praised but when you are wrong we will equally condemn you. 1 Like |
