BREAKING: Many Feared Dead As Tanker Explosion Rocks Nyanya In FCT

A massive explosion on Wednesday rocked the Karu bridge at Nyanya area of Abuja, after a gas tanker burst into flames, and engulfed several vehicles which claimed lives

The progress recorded so far in the reconstruction of the Owerri-Mbaise-Obowo-Umuahia road is quite impressive. As it nears completion, I can imagine the excitement on the faces of Ndi Imo and the motorists who rely on this vital corridor.

Across the State, we are revitalizing road networks to ensure that every community; urban or rural, benefits from accessible and durable roads. Our approach is holistic, covering all three zones in Imo State and guaranteeing seamless connectivity that fosters economic growth while enhancing the daily lives of our people.

I am confident that this improved road network will not only boost trade and commerce but also enhance safety and travel efficiency. The future of road infrastructure in Imo State is bright, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to sustainable development.

Flashback: I inherited No Debt From Al-Makura -Governor Sule
***
“At no time have I stated that there was a debt of over ₦18 billion taken by Governor Umaru Al-Makura and that it had stopped the running of government.

“For the purpose of clarification, I mentioned to stakeholders during the recent retreat for public office holders that we should all tighten our belts in view of the expenses ahead and the reduction in revenue accruing to the state from the Federation Account.

“I mentioned the need for us to all wake up and improve on our revenue base in order to continue to prosper as a state. I mentioned that currently, we are having some deductions from our allocation due to the federal government intervention such as the bailout, which is not peculiar to Nasarawa State.

“As far as such debts are concerned, there is none taken by Governor Al-Makura and handed over to this administration. You cannot call bailout debt, you cannot call budget support debt because these are interventions given to states by the federal government as palliative to be deducted.” -Governor Sule, December 2019
