The former governor said during his interview with Arise Television that the challenges his Ministry is faced with mostly lack of funding and with a tonne load of infrastructures to be worked on. He said only N27 billion has been paid so far to the owed contractors while more certificates are piling up for the contracts that have not been paid.

“Our debts as of the end of July, our outstanding and unpaid certificates, for example, were in the area of N336 billion. Now, the release we have from the ministry of finance for the second quarter is N27 billion. Then we have the Sukuk N162 billion. So, if you add that up, we are still way behind and more certificates are piling up for work that we haven’t paid.

As Nigerians still express worry over the nation’s increasing debt profile in China and other countries, the Minister of data and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has said that there’s nothing bad in borrowing, provided the funds are invested in infrastructure instead of services or consumption.

According to a statement released by his media aide, Segun Adeyemi, the Minister said this on Saturday, August 15, while speaking with journalists after he and Rotimi Amaechi, minister of transportation, inspected the Lagos-Ibadan line.

Mohammed said the govt. doesn’t borrow money for overhead except for capital projects.

“There isn’t any better thanks to answer Nigerians on what we’ve got through with the money we’ve borrowed than this trip. On this trip, you’ve got seen first hand the stations being constructed, the rail lines, and therefore the folks that are functioning on the projects.

Rather than arguing with critics, we opted to permit you (journalists) – the ears and eyes of Nigerians – to come back and see for yourselves what we do with the money we are borrowing.

We didn’t borrow money for services or overhead expenditure. We borrowed money for capital projects: rail; roads; bridges; power – infrastructure generally.

There is nothing bad in borrowing, provided the funds are invested in infrastructure, especially when it’ll create jobs, create an enabling environment for the economy” he said

On his part, Amaechi said $1.6 billion is being expended on the Lagos-Ibadan railway road and also the stations.

He appealed to the national assembly to approve a $5.3 billion Chinese loan request to enable the govt execute the Ibadan-Kano railway line.

They are not investigating corruption in construction. we wish the National Assembly to permit us to urge the loan for Ibadan to Kano, which is about $5.3bn.

“If you’re telling the person who lent you money you don’t just like the way he lent you, he won’t lend you any more.

“For this one (Lagos-Ibadan rail project), we have $1.6bn that we are contributing about $200 and $300 million. But don’t forget, they need not finished paying, they will stop at any time.”

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu said the State Government would be forced to review terms of easing the lockdown if there was no improvement in the adherence to the guidelines initiated to break the cycle of transmission of the dreaded virus.

The Governor spoke on Saturday during a maiden briefing after the ease of a five-week lockdown imposed by the Federal Government.

Besides, Sanwo-Olu said there will be a change in the State’s isolation strategy in the coming weeks, pointing out that Lagos was transiting towards decentralisation of management of COVID-19 cases, which would lead to the accreditation and incorporation of primary healthcare facilities and private hospitals for the treatment of mild-to-moderate cases of COVID-19 patients.
