Amaechi made this statement on sunday at a special thanksgiving service organised to mark the October 25th ruling of the supreme Court which brought him into power as Governor in 2007.
He said " I borrowed N300bn and I paid N245bn back and I left N15bn.
But now, they are not borrowing to pay contractors. Rather they are borrowing for themselves".
"Borrow to pay contractors and not for your purse. They borrowed N45bn and nobody is seeing it. If you put N45bn into the state economy, the state will employ more workers. Pay them and you will see things working".
He also lamented the situation of things in the state and maintained that projects embarked upon by his administration were valuable.
