Jigawa in N29bn debt-trap...
Findings reveal , commercial banks suspend business with govt
From
ISMA’ILA MUHAMMAD, Dutse
COMMERCIAL banks in Dutse, Jigawa state have resolved to suspend
indefinitely, any financial transaction with the state
government.
Investigations conducted by Daily Triumph revealed that the
state government is owing several commercial banks in the state
huge amounts of money running into several billions of Naira,
secured at different periods as soft; hard loans and advances.
It was gathered that most of those debts were incurred purposely
for special projects in recent years, but are yet to be settled,
a situation which compeled the banks to suspend any further
financial transaction with the state government in the last one
and half year.
