JOS — President Bola Tinubu has said his administration’s economic reforms have freed state governments from borrowing to pay workers’ salaries, attributing the development to increased revenue allocations that now enable states to meet salary obligations, settle gratuities and undertake development projects.

The President, represented by the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, made the remarks on Thursday during the flag-off of the rehabilitation of the Babban-Lamba–Sharam Phase II Road in Kanke Local Government Area of Plateau State.

Tinubu said the administration’s reforms had strengthened the economy and significantly improved revenues accruing to states.
