What Are The Governors Doing With The Increased Allocation? by femisplash: 12:04pm On Feb 06
The monthly allocations accrued to the states have seen a big increase since the removal of fuel subsidy. January 2024, FAAC shared 1.13trillion. In December 2023, 1.13trillion was shared, in November 2023, 1.78trillion shared. In August 2023, 1.13trillion was shared.

These respective allocations were a big boost from 786billion that was shared on May 2023 at the tenure end of the last Administration.

The President had a talk with the Governors over the subsidy removal and promised increased allocations to enable them cushion the effects and help them deliver to their people.

So far, Governors haven't shown commiserable deliverables to the increase in allocation at their disposals. It appears to be that the Governors are less interested in driving the vision of the president than lining their pockets while their people groan and complain under their watch.

The media are not putting the pressure on the Governors, everyone's eyes are fixed on the President.

In July/August, the President gave 3billion-5billion to states as palliatives, however, most state Governors shared nothing to their citizens. Nobody is holding them responsible for sitting on the palliative funds. Governors are spending very recklessly on food, vehicle budgets, etc. Citizens of each state appears to be redundant, crawl into their shells, hardly demand accountability from their Governors allowing them get away with blue murder.

Did President Tinubu take your State Governor's allocation to France? or did your Governor not collect his allocation at the end of January before Tinubu travelled?

My governor is not the one that removed subsidy that made inflation and food prices skyrocket.

He's not the one that floated naira

He's not the one that continued where buhari stopped.

My governor is not clueless and incompetent like tinupoo


My governor is not the one shouting ebi pa wa oo

Is your Governor not collecting more money since the removal of subsidy?. What's he been doing with more money he collects?, he chases you away to go bark at Abuja while he steals away your future and that of your family.

Are you not selling your kids because of hunger?. Who knows if your wife is planning on selling one of your kids to be able to have money to cook for you. Don't know if you guys do not look yourselves in the mirror before you trolling.

Stop talking nonense, inflation has only increased by 3%-4%. States are receiving more allocations which should reflect in the state's infrastructures.

PS; Inflation is actually less than 1%.

This is a darn ignorant question
Whatever increase is there in allocation, FG still takes the lion share. Take for example your claim that 787bn was shared in May before Tinubu took office, and 1.13trn in August, 3 months after he took office. Of the increase of about 300bn which you're touting, Tinubu alone will take 52% and that is minus the big fact that the dollar denominated returns on that increase will be with Tinubu and not the state govs since he controls the CBN.
The state govs individually get less than 10% of the total increase.

People are not complaining about what governors can fix... People are not saying roads are bad, infrastructure is bad that's not the present issue

The present issue is the the economic decision of Nigerians are not favorable to the people and the president is responsible for this 100%

If you were educated you should know this

Dollar is too high, purchasing power is low, businesses are not moving... What has the above for to do with governors

As matter of fact, inflation only increased from 28.2% in December to 28.9% in January, which is less than 1%.

You missed your math class, FG gets more than states by only 6% and obviously FG takes care of far more financial burdens than all the states. Cumulatively, FAAC has shared over 3trillion extra funds in 6months.

The fallacy in your submission is that you're treating the 36 states and 774LGs as a single entity. That's false logic and reductionist. The 36 states collect varying amount from the national purse and each is expected to function optimally as a state with same set of officials and functions. Meanwhile, most of those officials and function are a replica of the FG that gets far above them in allocation

Dollar is too high?, Lol. Is the vegetables, egusi, yam, etc purchased from the farms in dollars?, is taxis paid for in dollars?. It's funny when you go buy a madu of garri and they say "you know say dollar don high", Lol, funny greedy Nigerians. Governors were promised more funds to cushion subsidy effects. How many people has your Governor empowered in 6months?. The 5billion palliatives he received, how many got palliatives in your state?.

Your own propaganda is to absorb the sheer irresponsibility of your Governor?. The President has signed the new electricity bill whereby the states can generate and transmit power. Has your Governor followed through? or you've been directed to scream at Abuja when your Governor has been given the power to attract investors and light up your state. You go dey alright.

Replica, you say?. You're very very untruthful to yourself, i don't know why you so chose to be blantanly dishonest. Meanwhile, allocations are shared on the basis of a standard sharing formula. I don't know how you mean by single or seperate entity.
