Lawmaker representing Kaduna
Central Senatorial District, Senator Shehu Sani, has opined that agitations
across the country would go into extinction when states improve on their
Internally Generated Revenues, IGR, and depend less on the monthly Federal
allocations.
Sani, who is the Chairman of the
Senate Committee on Local and Foreign debts, said this on Tuesday when some
State Commissioners of Finance came before his committee.
The Commissioner for Finance
appeared before Sani-led committee to defend their various loan facilities
which they seek to obtain from some international finance agencies like the
World Bank and the Islamic Bank.
According to Sani, “We need to
sit up in terms of knowing fully that there is a cloud gathering in the sky,
the agitations going in some states should tell us that we need to brace
ourselves to what is ahead”
“If we reach the point Where IGR
in some state gets to One billion most of these issues will disappear”
Sani also frowned at a situation
where the, “healthiness in some States is attached to what comes from Abuja.”
The Kaduna-born lawmaker also
lamented the failure of some states to repay foreign loans they obtained.
