Why waste your time telling Imo people lies in more than 14 lines? Read how Okorocha gave an account of Imo allocation spending in just 14 lines of words via his co-incompetent looter Commissioner for Finance Deacon Chike Okafor ::|:: ‘How Imo spent Fed Govt’s allocation’.

by: Okodili Ndidi, Owerri

Imo State Commissioner for Finance Deacon Chike Okafor explained yesterday how the Federal Government’s allocation accruing to the state in the last two and a half years was spent.
The commissioner, who was responding to a call on Governor Rochas Okorocha by the Supervising Minister for Foreign Affairs, Prof. Viola Onwuliri, to give account for the state’s resources, said government invested an average of N1.285 billion in infrastructure in the 27 local governments.
Giving a breakdown, Okafor said government built 10 schools in each council for N27.5 million, a modern hospital in each council for N110 million and a 15-kilometre road in the councils for N60 million.
He said government consistently paid council workers, primary school teachers and pensions of retirees at a wage bill of over N2.1 billion.
“With the visible achievements of this administration, there would have been no need to respond, but as the manager of the treasury, the burden is on me to set the records straight.”
Okafor added: “While we invite and encourage honest, responsible and issue-based criticisms, we must stand up to discourage propaganda and falsehood.
