President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday met with state governors in the Council Chamber of the State House , Abuja. The enlarged meeting, which started when Buhari arrived the Chamber at 10 :11 am, will focus on the prevailing cash crunch in the country.
Nigeria Governors Forum ( NGF ) had last Wednesday resolved to demand payment for various federal projects executed by the states from the Federal Government. The money, they said, will go a long way in settling the backlog of salaries owed workers in their various states. While it was claimed that some of the states were being owed between N 10 billion and N 50 billion , the governors had maintained that there would be no reason for the states to seek bailout from the federal government if the debts had been paid .
But President Buhari had on Monday claimed that he inherited empty treasury from the Goodluck Jonathan ’s administration .
