He noted that he could not embark on new road construction while owing contractors. In addition, the backlog will be cleared before a new job is awarded.
Speaking further, he said arrears of taxes the council is owing Federal Island Revenue Services ( FIRS) and debts inherited by his administration also contributed.
He, however, assured residents of Kosofe of more developmental projects while appealing to them to pay their taxes to the appropriate quarters.
