Anambra State’s finance commissioner, Izuchukwu Okafor, has reignited a debate over the state’s debt, stating that the current administration under Governor Charles Soludo is still repaying loans and other obligations that were incurred by former governor Peter Obi and other past governors.
Okafor’s remarks were made in a statement that the state remains committed to settling its financial commitments, describing the debt as a legacy of previous administrations.
The comments followed a release by the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), who issued a document in response to the controversy. The document was intended to clarify the state’s fiscal position, though its contents were not detailed in the source.
By issuing the document, the SSG sought to reassure stakeholders that the debt is being managed responsibly and that the current administration is working to honour its obligations.
Further statements from Governor Soludo or additional details about the released document were not provided in the available source.
