He said the Federal Executive Council at its meeting of May 3 had approved the disbursement of N16, 772,486,002.19 based on an appeal by the state and his directive to the Ministry of Works and Housing “to ensure that sufficient funds are provided for the completion of the Damboa/Chibok Road based on the current cost of completion of the project.
