FG Owes Anambra N27bn- Obiano

Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano has cried out to the Federal Government to re-emburse N27 billion which his government has so far expended in fixing Federal roads in the state.

Chief Obiano, who was answering questions from newsmen at Nkpor Junction of Enugu/ Onitsha Expressway said so far, his govern­ment had spent N27 billion in the maintenance of dilapidated federal roads.

He said approval had already been given for the refund of N25 billion, adding, however, that addi­tional N2.1 billion had been spent since the last approval.

The governor said his govern­ment needed the money to be able to invest more on roads repair and other needs.
