The General Manager, Jos Metropolitan Development Board (JMDB), Mr Mathaias Hata has said that the board was unable to meet its target revenue of N80 million in 2017.
Hata told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Jos that 2017 year was the board’s most challenging year.
He said that in 2016 their target was N77 million but that they generated N120 million instead.
He regretted that the board only generated N64.7 million out of its targeted N80 million in 2017 due to lack of equipment and gross under staff.
