Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, on Saturday disclosed that the state’s monthly federal allocation surged from an average of N3.8bn to N4.5bn before the removal of fuel subsidy, to between N14bn and N16bn today.
He credited President Bola Tinubu’s economic reforms for freeing up resources previously consumed by subsidy payments across all tiers of government.
Sule made the disclosure while receiving a delegation of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors National Media Tour, led by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, at the Nasarawa State Government House in Lafia.
Sule said, “I can tell you for free. You are right when you say that in the first four years, everybody knows Nigeria was sharing anywhere between maybe N590bn to about N620bn monthly as total FAAC allocation.
