Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule announced on Saturday that his state's federal allocation has increased by 300% to between N14bn and N16bn per month, following President Bola Tinubu's economic reforms. Sule attributed the surge in federal funds, which replaced the subsidy payments previously consumed, to the President's reforms.
Prior to the removal of fuel subsidy, Nasarawa State received an average of N3.8bn to N4.5bn monthly, while local governments received N1.9bn to N2.5bn. Sule mentioned the allocation increase as the reason for his earlier support of the President's reforms, stating that the freed-up resources would enable the state to develop further.
He also highlighted several infrastructure projects completed without borrowing, including the Keffi flyover, dualisation of Akwanga Township Road, and the lithium mining facility in Nasarawa, which is attracting international demand.
