He said the state would only borrow for bankable projects with a high probability of generating returns to repay the debt.

The governor described the reports claiming that the state government was planning to borrow N245 billion to fund the 2024 budget as false, stating that his administration could not borrow such an amount while running a deficit of N121 billion for the 2024 appropriation.

Brainjotter gifts Mike Ejeagha N2 million

Legit.ng earlier reported that skit maker Brainjotter gave Ejeagha financial compensation for dancing to his song.

According to a screenshot shared on social media, the skit maker sent the veteran singer N2 million.

Some Nigerians, however, argued that Brainjotter's N2m donation was too small and did not justify using Ejeagba's song without his consent.
