According to Mr Wali, Yobe, under the former governor, Ibrahim Gaidam, spent the money constructing four federal road projects in the state.

He named the roads as Nguru-Machina road, Damaturu-Buni/Magza border road, Gashua Yusufari and Kaliyari-Bayamari-Geidam.

Also speaking, Mr Fashola said the federal government was evaluating all federal roads constructed by state governments, with a view to reimbursing them on the expenditure.
