"I am one of the very few that worked with this administration from infancy with a very stable mien, utmost sense of sincerity, commitment and consistency, and have always carried out my job description with professional efficiency and tact, with no attempt at compromising or derailing the manifesto of your government to bring it to public ignominy and opprobrium.

Kingsley Fanwo, the state director-general, media and publicity made this known in an interview on Sunday, May 21 in Lokoja. 

Fanwo said that the loans were taken by the two previous administrations for projects that did not add value to the state.
