The president said state governments were now receiving between four and five times the allocations they previously received from the Federation Account and should channel the resources into projects that directly benefit citizens, particularly road networks.
President Bola Tinubu has urged state governors across Nigeria to stop spending public funds on what he described as "unnecessary flyovers" in areas with little traffic and instead invest federal allocations in road infrastructure that would improve life and strengthen security.
The president said state governments were now receiving between four and five times the allocations they previously received from the Federation Account and should channel the resources into projects that directly benefit citizens, particularly road networks.
Tinubu made the remarks on Thursday while receiving a delegation of traditional rulers from Oyo State led by the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, at the presidential villa.
The monarchs were at the Villa to congratulate him over the successful rescue of the abducted schoolchildren and teachers from Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State after spending 56 days in captivity.
