Delta State Government has denied the allegation that the state was applying for a fresh loan of 120 billion Naira from a commercial bank.

The state Commissioner for Finance, Sir Fidelis Tilije, who to journalists in Asaba on Monday said the Delta State Government did not apply for a fresh loan but only changed the lead bank to enable the government to prosecute projects before the expiration of the Governor Ifeanyi Okowa led administration.

The State Commissioner for Finance, Sir Fidelis Tilijie explained that there was a misconception about the loan adding that the previous lead bank’s reluctance to process the 100 Billion Naira loan made the Delta State Government change to another lead bank.
