A substantial share of Kaduna State\u2019s monthly federal allocation is being used to service loans inherited by the current administration, Governor Uba Sani has disclosed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sani said N6.7bn is paid every month from the state\u2019s Federation Account Allocation Committee revenue toward the inherited debt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The governor made the statement during an interview with Channels Television on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said the repayment obligation will continue until 2048, meaning the debt will remain a long-term consideration for successive administrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sani said the figures were available through the Debt Management Office and could be verified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The governor also sought to distinguish the inherited obligations from new borrowing by his administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to him, Kaduna has not taken a new loan since he became governor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The state\u2019s financial position, he said, requires careful management of available resources, particularly when deciding which areas should receive government investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sani said his administration\u2019s approach was based on prudence and the use of data in making financial decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The revelation provides an indication of the scale of Kaduna\u2019s inherited debt obligations and the pressure they continue to place on the state\u2019s recurring revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With repayments projected to run until 2048, the debt burden is expected to remain relevant to Kaduna\u2019s fiscal planning for years to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
