File: Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana
Human rights lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, has urged Nigerians to demand accountability from the Federal, state and local governments over the increase in revenue accruing to the three tiers of government.
Falana said the rise in government revenue had yet to translate into corresponding improvements in the living conditions of Nigerians, urging citizens to question how the additional funds were being spent.
The activist spoke on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, where he questioned what governments were doing with the extra revenue available to them.
Falana cited the condition of a road leading to Afe Babalola University in Ekiti State, questioning why residents were asking the Federal Government to fix the road when the local government in the area had received substantial funds.
