Abdullahi Sule, governor of Nasarawa, says reforms initiated by President Bola Tinubu have freed up more resources for state governments across the country to execute projects that directly impact citizens’ lives.
Speaking on Saturday in Lafia, the capital of Nasarawa, while hosting journalists and the presidential media team inspecting federal and state governments’ projects in the state, Sule said Tinubu “took bullets” on behalf of the governors after removing the petrol subsidy.
The governor said before the subsidy removal, Nasarawa was receiving between N3.8 billion and about N4.5 billion monthly from the federal allocation, while the local governments were getting between N1.9 billion and N2.5 billion monthly.
Sule added that the monthly allocation to the state has more than doubled after the removal of the petrol subsidy.
The governor said his administration had initiated several projects without borrowing, adding that the president should be credited
