President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has urged state governors not to waste their respective states’ revenues on building unnecessary flyovers.
He made this known on Thursday when Oba Rashidi Ladoja, the
Olubadan of Ibadanland, paid him a courtesy visit at the Presidential Villa in
Abuja.
According to him, instead of building flyovers, governors
should channel state resources into constructing road networks that would
improve the quality of life of citizens.
“Instead of flyovers where there is no significant traffic,
they should build road networks to enhance the quality of life,” President
Tinubu said.
He noted that monthly allocations from the Federation
Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) have increased by four to five times.
Tinubu added that his administration has ended the era in
which sub-national governments borrowed money to pay salaries and pensions.
“They are taking four to five times their previous
allocations. Nobody is borrowing to pay salaries now,” he said.
The three tiers of government in Nigeria received at least
N53.3 trillion from the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) between
March 2023 and May 2026.
