Lalong also said the report that his administration budgeted N1.1 billion to demolish the market in 2019 appropriation was unfair and an attempt to tarnish his image.
“That market was blown off years ago and has remained like that. The market was our main source of revenue and I saw it as very necessary to rebuild the main market to address challenges of the state, including that of the minimum wage. “We have two proposals, either to bring down the entire market and start building new one or carry out the special demolition and reconstruction and the overhaul of the market. There are the technical aspect, the consultancy aspect and the contract itself.“So, I have asked them to make everything public so that people will not jump into conclusion that we are demolishing the market.
Asked if more money was going to be budgeted for the actual rebuilding of the market, the governor said: “First, we are starting with the demolition before we move to other things. Without technical drawing, you will not understand what I am saying.”
Good comments. That's how it should be. For me, FG should stop send Federal allowance to states. These governors generate nothing in a month.
