President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday sent a letter to the Senate, seeking its approval for the payment of N10bn to Kogi State.
In the letter, addressed to Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, Mr. Buhari said the money would be used by the state government to settle local debts it incurred as a result of the projects executed on behalf of the Federal Government.
According to the president, the request is based on the resolution passed by the eighth Senate.
Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi is fiercely loyal to president Buhari.
