The Kwara State government says it will use its share of the second tranche of the Paris Club refund to assist local government councils to offset part of their outstanding salary arrears and on critical infrastructure projects in the State.
Governor Ahmed said the State government is expected to receive another 25% of its claims as its share of the Paris club refunds.
He added that once the money is received, the government will apply it towards salary arrears at the local governments and also fund infrastructure development.
