The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio , said an
“unverified report” indicated that state governors
received N30 billion each from the Federation
Account to ameliorate inflation and the high cost of
food in their respective states.
Last September, the federal government said N2
billion was released to governors out of the N5 billion
loan it offered to each state as a palliative to cushion
the effect of the removal of fuel subsidy.
During the plenary on Tuesday, Mr Akpabio said
information available to him indicates that apart
from the first tranche of funds given to the
governors, an additional N30 billion was also to them
through the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS).
“I must say that unverified report has it that each of
the state governments in the last few months has
received additional N30 billion from Federal Inland
Revenue Service outside their normal allocations
from the Federation Account to assist them in
ameliorating the food situation,” he said.
FIRS
The senate president advised the governors to utilise
the funds judiciously to reduce the high cost of food
items and other challenges facing the country.
“We believed that every state government should
utilise the funds received towards ensuring that food
is available in the country.
“So, the state governments have a lot to do. They are
closer to the people and I do not want to mention
local government because most of the local
governments are controlled by the state governors.
“My belief is that if the state government does what
is needed, then the local government will be involved
in sharing to make sure that these things get to the
people. But we must not overlook the fact that
Nigerians are not going to be interested in stories.
“Nigerians want to see action. Nigerians want to eat
and we will provide food for them, there is no
excuse. Despite what we met on ground” Mr Akpabio
added.

Have you gotten your share from your own governor?

This is why thief'nubu is naturally foolish, very daft and outrightly clueless. All he knows how best to engage in is, share money, share money and share more money. He doesn't know that to share money and bags of rice do not solve any problem in a country of 220 million people.

He thinks Nigeria is Lagos state where he shares money to less than 200 people who go about praising his madness.

padi padi government is the reason we are here today .chop I chop
if tinubu means well for Nigeria the status quo should change.

don't come and tell us that you gave thieves with guns 30 billion and that we should go and hold them responsible.

well meaning nigerians have been suggesting solutions but you guys play deaf and dumb.
Tinubu is corrupt and until he starts fighting corruption holistically things will get worse.

That's because we don't hold them accountable. People waste so much time and energy on BAT and FG in general instead of monitoring how the highly increased monthly allocation to their states are being utilised.

Rotation Amaechi said it all. They continue to steal because we don't respond appropriately.

How exactly should they be held accountable?

The clueless governor’s have reloots the money 💰 meant for the people again. Very unfortunate situation in our nation

What Nigerians need now is lasting solution not parliative measure.

Start by asking your LG Chairman what he has done with the allocation sent to him for development in your area. You can form neighbourhood associations to work effectively as a group.

Jagaban = Nigeria Jaga Jaga

E be like say these governors don chop money finish, abeg make dem use am well o, we don suffer enough for this country.

Governors have a responsibility to utilize the additional funds received to alleviate the high cost of food for Nigerians.
