Gombe State Governor, Inuwa Yahaya has lamented that about 85 per cent of the State allocation from the Federation Account goes to payment of salaries, leaving a paltry 15 per cent to cater for a population of about 3.5 million people. Inuwa Yahaya stated this at the inauguration ceremony of the Board which took place at the Council Chamber of the Government House on Tuesday . He declared that “My dream is that Gombe State may soon not rely on the federation account for its survival because that was the dream of our elder statemen and we must keep such dream alive”.
