Nasarawa State Governor Tanko Al-Makura has disclosed his administration, which inherited N40billion debts in 2011, will bequeath a zero-debt profile for the incoming administration of Abdullahi Sule.
The governor stated this on Wednesday at the Lafia Government House while inaugurating transition committee members and boards of some government institutions.
According to him, leaving behind a crippling debt burden was not only unfair to the incoming government but the people of Nasarawa state.
He explained all the loan facilities procured by his government to execute capital projects have been paid in addition to clearing the N40 billion debts he inherited.
