The Adamawa State Government said the Federal Government has yet to repay N4.2bn debt owed the state.

The state government said the debt was the outstanding liability the state incurred in repairing four federal roads and two collapsed bridges for which the state government only received reimbursement of N400m while N4.2bn remained outstanding.

Solomon Kumangar, Director General, Media and Communication, Adamawa State Government House, stated this while reacting to the decision by the Federal Government not to reimburse states monies spent on fixing federal roads in their domains.


“We feel the Federal Government’s decision not to reimburse states for repairs carried out on federal roads is rather disingenuous. This new directive will further worsen the deplorable states of roads across the country, especially the ones belonging to the Federal Government and increase the suffering of most citizens.

 For a government promising to move its people to the next level, this directive rather serves as a disincentive for state governors not to intervene in fixing deplorable federal roads in their domains.”
