Adamawa State government yesterday said it will present President Muhammadu Buhari with a N23 billion bill needed to repair damaged public institutions destroyed by Boko Haram insurgents in the state. The governor had earlier told the Vice-President, Prof. Yemi Osibanjo, during his one-day visit that N200 billion would be needed to restore normalcy in the affected areas.
In his presentation to the state governor at the Government House, Yola, the leader of the ad-hoc committee, Mr. Ibrahim Emmanuel, who is also the Permanent Secretary (Political) to the Governor, told the governor that the said amount only covered the cost of reinvigorating public institutions in the state, adding that he did not factor costs of personal lost incurred by the affected people. Receiving the report, Governor Jibrilla Bindowo, said it is of utmost importance to the state, especially as it was borne out the Federal Government’s desire to bring back to life the destroyed public institutions.
