Every State In Nigeria Can Pay Salaries - Obi

Posted by Jay




The former governor of Anambra State has disagreed with the notion that said Nigerian states are incapable of paying salaries, insisting that with prudence and prioritizing,  state could  pay salaries and engage in other developmental activities.

Obi was speaking yesterday   at the   17th  Annual Convention of the Igbo Youth Movement at the Nike Lake Hotel, Enugu. Obi, who bagged the ‘Best Governor Ever,’ award said that those in government spent a lot of money on things that were not necessary, while running out of money for projects that would enrich the people.
