To ameliorate the hardship being faced by affected workers, the President said that the Federal Government will strive to make more funds available to the states by expediting action on refunds due to them for the maintenance of federal roads and other expenses incurred on behalf of the Federal Government. He added that he will establish an inter-ministerial committee to study a Fiscal Restructuring Plan for the Federation which was presented to him by the governors.
Buhari said that the committee will review the plan to improve the finances of state governments and make recommendations on how proposals in the plan should be dealt with by the Presidency, the Federal Executive Council and the National Assembly through legislation. He urged the governors, however, to understand that while he was ready to do all within his powers to help the states overcome their current financial challenges, the Federal Government also has funding problems of its own to contend with.
"You all know the problems we have found ourselves in. You have to bear with us," he told them.
The Chairman of the Governors Forum, Governor Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara State and the Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State, who chaired the committee that worked on the Fiscal Restructuring Plan, asked the Federal Government to do more to help the states financially.
The governors told the President that while they had resolved to take other measures to boost their internally-generated revenue, the implementation of the Fiscal Restructuring Plan will help them to deal with their funding problems on short, medium and long-term bases.
They said that if the plan was adopted and implemented by the Federal Government, states of the federation will become more financially empowered to fulfil their constitutional responsibilities.

DeleteFool, what really do you want? What has he done wrong in what you read? Would you rather he avoided the discussions? What exactly will satisfy your myopic mind? You can't just abuse over everything. Sit, reason, get constructive before posting anything. You are too desperate for Linda's give away. Why not get a life first.
DeleteThe level of hardship now is getting really unbearable
Deletemajority of those good for nothing Northern state are mainly the problem we are face financially.
Deletethe generate no internal revenue and because of all these, they are the ones who are highly paid by the FGin terms of distributed allocation.
funniest part is, with the whole funds sent to them by the FG... nobody is seeing any sign of the funds been used there.... and the governor of those Northern state are the ones that kips on complaining of not been able to pay the salary of their workers.
doesn't sound logical at all.
SCARFACE
It's a real pity that states can't pay salaries. In my opinion it's an impeachable offense and the governors of such states should resign or be impeached.
DeleteYour comment is so not helpful. Give solutions pls!
DeleteDon't give rochas imo state governor access to the money oh. That thief will just siphon it to his pocket and not pay workers. Since January no payment. upon its 70% of their salaries oh. He will never enjoy that money in peace. It must run his belle

ReplyDeleteFiscal federalism is the solution!!! All the stealing by politicians would stop. The illegal mining would stop Tax evasion would stop. Impunity would stop. Fulan murderers would stop too!!! Fiscal restructuring plan is a waste of time.
ReplyDeleteIs a very big problem in Nigeria. They must be a way to tackle the problem if they really want to
ReplyDeleteAs long as Nigeria continues to be forced to operate a weird system which is not federalism but is being branded as federalism Nigeria will continue to have weird problems.
ReplyDeleteThe federal government is sitting on everything while the states have nothing. In a genuine federal system, the states have a lot of responsibilities and economic power while the federal government takes care of central issues only, like defence matters, currency, border and immigration control, international trade etc.
The present system was deliberately put in place to continue to enrich the corrupt elite and ensure power remains concentrated in the hands of a few. Let us continue to fool ourselves and expect development.
A huge concern
ReplyDeleteTalk nd no de do president.
