Tinubu’s Gives States N9bn Each for Infrastructure Development

President Bola Tinubu’s administration has announced the allocation of N9 billion to all 36 states of the Federation.

Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said N7 billion was allocated to states for infrastructural development, while the rest was assigned to fuel subsidy palliatives.

In a post on X, he stated that the allocation of revenue from the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) has experienced an increase.

According to Onanuga: “The 36 Nigerian states have enjoyed unprecedented support from the Bola Tinubu presidency, having recently been given N7 billion each for infrastructure support, in addition to the N2 billion earlier given as fuel subsidy palliative.

“The revenue allocations to all the tiers of government by the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) have also been on the increase since June.

“State governors thus have no reason not to do a lot for their people, instead of the obsession with the center. In spending money on roads and other infrastructure, many jobs will be created and people will have money to spend

“Let the states therefore get cracking to give succour to our people. Let the mass media also monitor the states to ensure that the funds are wisely spent.”

Kanyi Daily recalls that Former Director General of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), Dr. Salihu Lukman had sheds light on  Bola Tinubu’s seamless emergence as the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate for the 2023 elections.
