North is an asset not liability to Nigeria – Ndume

The senator representing Borno South, Mohammed Ali Ndume, has said the North is not parasitic as far as matters of economic survival are concerned.

Ndume in a statement yesterday, however, said all states and regions in the country need one another to survive no matter how rich.

The Borno senator was reacting to claims in some quarters that the North cannot survive on its own, and that northerners don’t like paying taxes.
