Kaduna,


I'm sure El Rufai did not return to office to borrow money..

Macnnoli4:
Lol, Bassey Otu from Cross River, I hope his multibillion renovated office can help him repay the debts

Nukilia:
These people are criminals! After renovating the office, I believe he'll be mining gold in the office to boost the revenue generation of the state

nairalanda1:
They borrow because

1. Oil revenues are low, due to a combination of low oil prices for NIgeria and massive previous debt

2. Poor tax to gdp ratio.

🇳🇬Nigeria is being ruled by a bunch of self serving THIEVES! 💯💯💯💯

onadana:
I thought Shehu Sani of Kaduna State was bragging he has not borrowed any money since he became governor.

dalongjnr:
Very unfortunate for plateau state.
The two former governors(Jonah Jang and Simon Lalong) that left really dealt with the state, most especially Simon Lalong.
Just borrow money to loot same.
Left unpaid salaries, over inflated uncompleted projects, vandalised and left with operational vehicles and assets of state......... No,no,no..... Solomon Lar,Joseph Gomwalk....... Wept for plateau state.

It seems the current governor is trying to outdo along and hang in the area of incompetence
He allowed bandits and Fulani herdsmen to roamed and killed at will, without any for of stringent efforts by the state government and national forces. It was pathetically unacceptable for someone to fall from such a graceful and noble duty of care and services.

3Ceagle:
Please itemised LGA by LGA what Uzodinma has done in Imo state to deserve leadership award above these two. Uzodinma is not in the class of Otti and Soludu in any ramifications. No hard feelings just my candid opinion.

LOVEALAIGBO:
Hehehehehe

You feeling a bit left out and ignored? Allow Armageddon enjoy his Easter Sunday in peace! It’s his prerogative to recognise and praise whoever he wants to! By the time you extend the period in question to say two years, you’ll see your man appear on the list, yet there’s no commensurate things on ground in Imo to reflect the level of money borrowed or the states’ vast oil and gas resources!

Leave poor Armageddon alone!

helinues:
The way the state governors have been borrowing money anyhow without anything to show for it, wondering if that's how they spend their own personal money

LOVEALAIGBO:
Uba Sani!

pquaver:
I don't feel left out... I just pointed out his bias..

I love my state like that we dont need his validation..

Morizo:
You are every wrong. Please stop misinforming the public

nairalanda1:
Actually, I'm right.

We are a resource dependent nation..as a result when the price of what we sell goes down, we get into serious issues hence the borrowing.

Also when what we produce falls in production level, we lose income. See Ghana. Because of a disease that has wiped out most of its cocoa crop, it has to pray to mother world bank for a loan.

This does not mean I believe we have a good government. If this government was serious they would have taken us off oil dependency. And began the process of making us an exporter of Industrial goods and services

The problem with Nigeria can be fixed by industrialization, exporting industrial goods and taxing more of our gdp which would help our economy grow, fix unemployment, enable us to earn far more in terms of cash, promote self reliance and reduce corruption ( higher tax level means people have an incentive to hold government responsible at a higher rate)

It's called dutch disease. And I have shown how it can be sorted

Note, it does not mean that I do not believe there is no corruption or that apc is running a good economy. Infact I have just shown you why and how apc is running a bad economy .

Every beautiful economic blueprint you have highlighted will fail because of unbridled corruption and weak institutions we have. We have a very corrupt political class and business elite. My brother, take away corruption and even a layman's economic blueprint centred on Agriculture, security, basic education and due process will thrive because we have the market and hardworking population


But of course, you can disagree with me
Too many missionaries,too few heathens

Morizo:
..

nairalanda1:
Well we would always have some corruption, but in my opinion, improved tax to gdp ratios would incentivise people to pay more attention to what their government is doing with their money.

A big problem with fighting corruption is that it is hard work . Hard hard work

groovie:
The post says 13 new Governors. Omo State Governor isn't a new Governor Sir

Hangulsaram I hope this thread gives you a bit more wisdom so you don’t ask that foolish question you asked me again. The data each state is owing is readily accessible to even the dumbest idiot on NL.
