Professor Jerome Nyameh, the Accord Party gubernatorial candidate for Taraba State, has urged the government to provide clear justifications for its borrowing practices. During a meeting in Jalingo on Friday, Nyameh emphasized that state officials owe the public an explanation regarding the necessity of any loans, the specific plans for fund allocation, and the anticipated advantages for the populace.
Nyameh asserted that integrity must remain a core component throughout the entire loan cycle, from initial acquisition to project completion. He stated that citizens have a right to understand how borrowed capital impacts their daily lives and the specific initiatives it supports.
Furthermore, the candidate advocated for tying national debt to revenue-generating ventures that foster economic expansion, create jobs, and ensure long-term repayment capacity. He warned that taking on debt for poorly defined projects poses a risk to fiscal stability and places an unfair financial strain on future generations. Nyameh concluded that cautious financial oversight is vital for maintaining public trust and ensuring that borrowed resources produce tangible improvements for the community.
