Lalong's administration said it inherited a total debt burden of roughly ₦222 billion from the Jonah Jang government upon taking office on 29 May 2015.

The administration says it continued servicing this debt without default throughout its eight years, though no independently audited reconciliation of the original ₦222bn figure against the debt eventually handed over was identified for this entry.

The incoming administration said it inherited roughly eight months of unpaid worker salary arrears from the Jang government at the May 2015 handover.

Lalong's administration says it settled the inherited salary arrears and maintained regular salary payment for the remainder of its tenure, a claim the Governor cited repeatedly as a fulfilled commitment to workers.

Alongside salary arrears, the administration said it inherited roughly twelve months of unpaid pension arrears and outstanding 'no work, no pay' withheld wages from the Jang era.

The administration says these were settled early in its tenure, though no independently audited figures confirming full and final clearance of every category of arrears were identified for this entry.

The Lalong administration said it inherited a demoralised education workforce after the Jang government dismissed over 2,000 teachers.

The administration recalled the more than 2,000 dismissed teachers and separately recruited and retrained a further 4,800 primary school teachers during its tenure.
